In recent years, I've observed that the crypto market indeed reacts faster than traditional financial markets.
The AI boom is a clear example. Several 10x coins were pumped in the crypto market, while Nvidia's stock price increase was relatively slow to follow. Looking at the October bull market start, the crypto community had already priced in various positive news, reacting much faster than the broader market.
This time with the dollar depreciation is similar. The crypto market is highly sensitive to the dollar's movements and often serves as a leading indicator for traditional financial markets. Based on trading volume and price volatility, crypto assets seem to price macroeconomic changes more efficiently. This could be because market participants react quickly, information flows efficiently, or simply due to the market's inherent characteristics. Anyway, every time I observe this, I find it quite fascinating.
I can see clearly the wave of AI, the community has already fully committed, while Wall Street is still studying financial reports.
Basically, it's an information gap. When we get the news, we react immediately, while they still need to hold meetings to discuss.
I've seen through it long ago—information asymmetry is money asymmetry.
Being a prophet or a pioneer is always a game for the minority.
Human in the crypto space is purely a test subject; reactions are unbelievably fast.
That wave of AI was truly incredible. The crypto market already multiplied tenfold before the broader market woke up. Hilarious.
Pricing efficiency, to put it simply, is just people's greed response speed. People in the crypto world are greedier and faster haha.
