1. **Exchanges:** Firms like Coinbase (COIN) facilitating crypto trading.
2. **Miners:** Companies (e.g., Marathon Digital - MARA, Riot Platforms - RIOT) that validate transactions and earn crypto rewards.
3. **Tech & Infrastructure:** Businesses providing blockchain technology, mining hardware, or financial services (e.g., MicroStrategy - MSTR known for large Bitcoin holdings).
4. **Crypto-adjacent:** Traditional finance or tech firms significantly expanding into crypto services.
Investing in cryptostocks offers exposure to the crypto market's potential growth through regulated equity markets.

They carry significant risk alongside potential reward.
