Crypto Markets Decouple From Stock Rally as AI Stocks Rise

The S&P 500 equal-weight index reached record highs, but crypto markets failed to follow suit.

Crypto assets, including DOGE and HYPE, underperformed last week as AI stocks continued their upward trend.

This divergence points to a capital rotation from speculative digital assets into AI-linked equities.

The distinction matters because crypto markets often move first on headlines, but the current environment is being driven by various factors including network adoption, regulatory progress, liquidity shifts, or short-term speculation.
