Yep, it’s not a coincidence  crypto's increasingly behaving like a high-beta proxy for U.S. equities, especially tech.

BTC & ETH track liquidity conditions, rate expectations, and risk sentiment just like stonks do  but with a multiplier.

So when Nasdaq pumps, crypto rips.
When yields spike, both puke  but crypto pukes harder.

It’s basically leveraged macro exposure, just with more volatility, fewer circuit breakers, and way more memes.

Welcome to the new normal:
Crypto = the VIX of tech risk
