I took a look at the market value increase of popular AI and semiconductor-related stocks in the US stock market since the beginning of the year.
You never know until you see, and it’s shocking when you do.
In the first half of the year, the fastest-growing market cap was Micron $MU , which increased by nearly $750 billion.
Just this one leading company in the storage sector almost matches the entire crypto market cap evaporation of $793.5 billion in the first half of the year.
Following closely are TSMC $TSM and Google $GOOGL .
The size of the US stock market is indeed too large to compare with cryptocurrencies.
Speculation must involve markets with good liquidity and large incremental growth.
It’s also understandable why exchanges are crazy about trading US stocks.
