Assets are a hedge against inflation. Stocks, real estate, art, etc.
The more utility and stability, the safer the investment. The more speculative or novel, the riskier the investment.
Real estate and property are typically pretty safe and have some utility.
As are bonds (but most might not keep up with high inflation, just dampen the effects).
Novel assets like crypto, NFTs, etc. will likely produce higher variability in returns (either positive or negative).
