The private wealth held by American seniors has reached a record high. As this wealth begins to flow to Generation X and Millennials, the real estate market, especially the high-end property sector, is experiencing a noticeable shift.

This large intergenerational transfer of wealth is not just a numbers game. When trillions of dollars move from the older generation to younger investors, asset allocation patterns will change accordingly. Some choose real estate for preservation of value, while others seek more diversified portfolios—including crypto assets and other alternative investments.

The reason this phenomenon is worth paying attention to is simple: where there is a large amount of liquidity, market opportunities will arise. The booming high-end real estate market is just a surface phenomenon; behind it are differences in intergenerational wealth concepts and a new generation's more open attitude toward risk assets.

Trillions of dollars are flowing to young people. This real estate market is just the appetizer; the real arbitrage opportunities are still waiting on-chain. --- The first reaction of millennials when they get money is to allocate some to crypto assets. The older generation will never understand this idea [dog head]. --- Honestly, this is the ultimate form of the new generation's anti-inflation strategy, much smarter than just holding onto real estate. --- The trend of capital flowing into crypto is obvious now; signs of TVL taking off have already appeared. --- Intergenerational wealth transfer = market re-pricing. Let's see who can scoop up this wave of wool. --- Is the real estate boom? I see it as a prelude to large funds seeking returns. DeFi is the next main stage. --- Older people hold onto real estate, while young people embrace risk assets. The cost of this ideological difference is just too high.
