Generally, you don't get hyperinflation when asset prices fall.

If interest rates were to rise to normal levels, asset prices could fall 45%. It's hard to imagine anything but deflation.

Unless interest rates go to extreme negatives, you will not see another effect like the one we have already seen from interest rate manipulation. There's just not enough room for a big rate of change.

It would be completely separate if you had outrageous fiscal spending to try to prop up asset prices. Given that fiscal stimulus is much harder to pass than monetary, hyperinflation doesn't seem like the thing to worry about.
