  • Top four cryptocurrency-related stocks on Nasdaq offered double-digit gains over the past five days. 
  • A collection of 24 global crypto stocks related to cryptocurrency mining, trading and investing have posted over 90% gains in 2021.
  • $7.1 trillion worth of stocks is tied to cryptocurrencies and decentralized application projects of Web3. 

Cryptocurrency-linked shares are outperforming traditional stocks. Stocks such as Coinbase, CME Group and Hut 8 mining corp are leading the way with double-digit gains as Bitcoin is on the cusp of a new all-time high.

Crypto mining companies Marathon Digital Holdings Inc, Hut 8 Mining Corp and Bitfarms Ltd., are up over 180% since the beginning of 2021. 

Since SEC’s approval of ProShares’ Bitcoin ETF, Coinbase (COIN) has posted nearly 24% gains, and Hut 8 Mining Corp (HUT) gained 21% on Nasdaq. Bitcoin price flirted with its all-time high, and analysts have a bullish outlook on BTC. 

FXStreet analysts have evaluated the BTC price trend and predicted that Bitcoin would make a new all-time high before retracing to $58,000.
