April 10, 2025 – Cryptocurrency-linked stocks surged today, riding the momentum of a broad U.S. stock market rebound sparked by easing geopolitical tensions and renewed investor optimism.
Companies with a high degree of exposure to the sector of digital assets, such as cryptocurrency mining companies and blockchain infrastructure providers and exchanges for digital assets–reported significant gains of double digits in some instances. The rise came at the same time that the tech-focused Nasdaq rose 2.3 percent and the S&P 500 gained 1.8 percent, driven by the dovish comments of the former president Donald Trump and hopes of easing trade frictions with China.
The shares of Coinbase Global (COIN) jumped more than 11% during trading intraday and Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) and Riot Platforms (RIOT) rose 14 percentage points and 12% and 12%, respectively. Blockchain infrastructure company Hut 8 Mining (HUT) also climbed 9.9%, which is in line with the booming purchasing across the entire sector.
Bitcoin Holds Ground Above $70,000
Bitcoin the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, has held its ground above the $70,000 mark, after hitting new highs earlier in the week. Even though the crypto market was able to show modest growth today, investors’ enthusiasm for the adoption of blockchain technology and stability in markets extended into stocks linked to the space.
“Crypto stocks are moving in sync with broader tech optimism right now,” said Lisa Graham, head of research in the field of digital assets with Brookfield Capital Markets. “It’s less about Bitcoin’s price action today and more about bullish sentiment returning to high-growth sectors after a period of caution.”
Institutional Interest Remains Strong
The recent rise is accompanied by rising evidence of the involvement of institutions in the crypto market. Spot Bitcoin ETFs that were launched in the beginning of this year continue to attract steady flows, while major Wall Street firms have deepened their blockchain alliances.
“The resilience of crypto-related equities in the face of macro uncertainty is notable,” said Javier Montes, a senior strategist at Crypteq Advisors. “Investors are increasingly viewing these companies not just as speculative plays, but as part of the next wave of financial infrastructure.”
Outlook: Cautious Optimism Ahead
Although today’s market increase in the market is a good indication for investors looking to invest in bullish stocks Analysts warn that volatility is still very high, especially in the realm of digital assets. The regulatory developments occurring across the U.S. and abroad, along with any new geopolitical tensions, could alter investors’ sentiment very quickly.
The strong performance of crypto-related stocks today indicates that confidence in the sector is solid, at least for now.
