#CryptoStocks

**Crypto stocks** are shares in publicly traded companies deeply involved in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. They offer indirect exposure to crypto's volatility without holding the assets directly. Key categories include:

1. **Exchanges:** Companies like **Coinbase (COIN)** or **Robinhood (HOOD)** that generate revenue primarily from crypto trading fees.

2. **Miners:** Firms such as **Marathon Digital (MARA)** or **Riot Platforms (RIOT)** that validate blockchain transactions (like Bitcoin mining) and earn crypto rewards.

3. **Blockchain Tech:** Companies providing infrastructure, like **MicroStrategy (MSTR)** (known for massive Bitcoin holdings) or semiconductor makers (e.g., **NVIDIA (NVDA)** indirectly benefiting from mining demand).

**Performance:** These stocks are typically **highly volatile**, often mirroring or amplifying Bitcoin's price swings. They are significantly influenced by crypto market sentiment, regulatory developments, and company-specific execution. Investing carries substantial risk but offers leveraged potential upside during bull markets.
