Magnificent 7 tech stock has outperformed crypto YTD

admin

The post Magnificent 7 tech stock has outperformed crypto YTD appeared com. Tech stocks moved ahead of the crypto market, locking in a respectable 42% gain in the year to date. At the same time, the crypto market erased its gains for a net expansion of just 16% for the year to date. The Magnificent 7 tech stocks have a lead on crypto with a 42% yearly gain. The shares of Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta, and Tesla outpaced crypto, which had an uneven performance. The Magnificent 7 stock index climbed more gradually since April, outperforming crypto for yearly gains to date. 2% gain for the year, but the entire crypto market capitalization is down, as top tokens and altcoins underperformed. The crypto market capitalization is at $3. 55T, though most of the value is concentrated in the top 100 assets. The recent price performance of the NASDAQ index was also weaker, adding 27. 2% in the year-to-date. The S&P 500 added 18. 8% for the year to date, outside the exceptional performance of top tech stocks. The recent gains for tech shares posed the question of the position of crypto, either as a secure store of value or as a riskier and more volatile alternative to tech stocks. Can tech stocks replace crypto? Tech stocks and other active sectors are fulfilling one of the roles of crypto. With increased liquidity and a less risky downside, stocks are outperforming the crypto space. The lack of an altcoin season and the slowdown of memes also mean crypto space no longer offers the potential for outsized gains. At the same time, altcoins suffer deeper drawdowns. BTC and ETH remain the two mainstream alternatives to stocks, still seeing mainstream inflows. Crypto stocks and the shares of mining companies have also performed better in comparison.
