Flight to quality
The tendency of investors to move toward safer investments (often government bonds) during periods of high economic uncertainty
Example usage from an FT article:
Some of the established institutions that had previously been dismissed by young crypto firms believe the recent disruption will cause a “flight to quality”, which will make it easier for them to scoop up business from investors wary of crypto-native businesses.
