Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya dismisses fears about the US dollar’s prolonged decline, stating that the appreciation of US assets more than compensates for currency depreciation. The dollar index (DXY) dropped nearly 11% in H1 2025, its worst performance in decades, but Palihapitiya notes that global demand for dollar-denominated assets—such as equities, real estate, and hard assets—remains strong due to American economic dominance. He argues that as long as US innovation and supremacy persist, the dollar’s gradual decline won’t undermine wealth accumulation for investors holding US assets.
