The +119% Crypto Stocks Rally That Could Reshape the U.S. Stock Market Sectors

Why this report matters
Crypto equities are up +119% year-to-date—outpacing Bitcoin and nearly every major asset class. Behind the headlines, a powerful shift is unfolding as Wall Street quietly backs a new wave of digital asset companies. From IPO pipelines to covered call strategies, the infrastructure is being built for something bigger than another bull run. This isn’t just about crypto—it’s about a potential new sector emerging within the S&P 500. Volatility is declining, capital is shifting, and the traditional financial system is beginning to take notice.

Main argument
One of our core themes for 2025 is that Wall Street has a strong incentive to keep Bitcoin prices elevated, as over $100 billion in crypto-related IPOs are preparing to enter public markets. Circle, for example, projected a $5 billion valuation in May 2025. Yet, its market cap has already reached $41 billion, with shares trading around $180—more than double the $80 price target set by analysts at J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs.
As Wall Street begins to cover and promote these crypto equities, they—and the companies that follow—will increasingly become part of institutional portfolios. While 2024 was defined by Bitcoin ETF inflows, 2025 is shaping up to be the year of crypto equities.
This includes not only the wave of IPOs expected to follow Circle’s momentum, but also already-listed crypto-related stocks—from miners, to diversified firms like Coinbase and Galaxy, to treasury-heavy companies such as MicroStrategy and Metaplanet. Even Robinhood is part of this broader crypto equity narrative, with 30% of its revenue tied to crypto. This figure could rise further as it begins offering tokenized stocks in Europe.
