Money market funds just hit a record-breaking $7.8 trillion in total assets. This milestone reflects massive capital flight to ultra-safe, yield-bearing instruments amid economic uncertainty. The surge signals how investors are positioning defensively while rates remain elevated—a critical backdrop for understanding capital allocation patterns in digital assets and traditional finance.

7.8 trillion really can't hold up anymore, this wave of capital flight is basically panic.

tbh this is just financial trauma manifesting as spreadsheets... $7.8T running to safety while we're out here still holding bags from leverage ptsd. rates stay up, people flee to boring yield, classic risk-off copium. seen this movie before, doesn't end well for the degens.
