The Baby Boomer generation has accumulated massive wealth—we're talking about one of the most concentrated private fortunes ever seen. And here's what's happening now: that money's flowing down to Gen X and Millennials. The cascade effect? It's already moving markets, especially in the premium real estate space.

This generational wealth transfer isn't just a demographic blip. It's reshaping entire asset classes. When trillions in capital shift hands, markets respond. Property values surge, investment strategies reallocate, and appetite for different asset classes changes. For crypto investors watching macro trends, this is worth noting—generational wealth transfers typically correlate with portfolio rebalancing cycles and shifts in risk appetite across alternative assets.

The knock-on effects are just beginning.

To be honest, if this wave of wealth transfer really comes in, crypto might have to go through a round of shakeout again.

Well... Basically, it's our parents' money about to be poured over us. The real question is, will it actually fall into our hands? --- This wave of wealth transfer is probably going to see real estate prices rise first, and we, the little guys, still have to cut. --- Wait, does this logic mean that crypto will be flooded with this inheritance money next? That's interesting. --- Talking about generational wealth every day, why isn't it my turn? Haha. --- In fact, housing prices have already reflected this, and we're still waiting. --- Trillions are on the move... but my wallet still has just a few coins, lol. --- So, is it still a gamble to go all-in on real estate now? --- Oh my god, just hearing these numbers makes my head hurt. Who's really going to make money?

It's the same old story again, just waiting to see housing prices continue to soar, and my gas fees will also explode... Truly hopeless.

Bro, I do remember this analysis. The housing market in the past two years really did rise like that. But to be honest, how much is left in our generation's hands? Taxes, inflation, various intermediary costs piling up...

Wait a moment, I tracked the flow of these funds... Behind the surge in real estate, there are indeed large transfer signals, and on-chain data also confirms this trend.
