Fiat Hedging

Definition

Fiat hedging involves strategies to reduce the risk of value fluctuations between fiat currency and other assets. This practice typically entails employing financial instruments or positions designed to offset potential losses from adverse movements in fiat currency exchange rates or purchasing power. Within the digital asset space, it often means converting crypto holdings into stable fiat-backed assets or traditional currencies to preserve capital during periods of market volatility. The goal is to safeguard the purchasing power of an investment against currency depreciation or market downturns.
