Iggy Ioppe(@iggyioppe):Spent an hour with @beincrypto's Expert Council (smart group) on a question allocators keep coming back to: what actually protects a portfolio in a macro shock. This is difficult to answer well because most hedges are correlation trades in disguise, and correlation trades fail at exactly the moment you need them. Gold has held its role for decades because it is not a claim on anyone's balance sheet. Tokenization doesn't change that property. It changes what the asset can do: settle 24/7 and move as collateral instead of sitting inert in a vault.
