Bernstein stated that cryptocurrency-related stocks are trading at a "significant discount" following a sharp decline, with their current valuations reflecting weak short-term sentiment rather than long-term growth potential.
The research and brokerage firm noted in a report to clients on Monday that stocks linked to digital asset infrastructure—including exchanges, brokerages, and tokenization platforms—have fallen approximately 60% from recent highs, even as their underlying businesses continue to expand in areas such as stablecoins, derivatives, prediction markets, and the tokenization of real-world assets.
Bernstein anticipates the current weakness will persist until after the first-quarter earnings reports are released, at which point stability is expected. Given this outlook, analysts believe a market bottom may form around the first-quarter earnings season.
This perspective continues the firm's recent stance that a portion of the sell-off in crypto stocks—including concerns triggered by U.S. regulatory issues related to firms like Circle—may have overshot fundamental realities.
