3 Crypto-Centric Stocks to Boost Your Portfolio Before Next Bitcoin Rally
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Bitcoin climbed above $93,600, hit a three-week high and moved past its 50-day moving average.
NVIDIA benefits in strong crypto markets as GPUs support data centers, AI and crypto mining demand.
Robinhood lets users trade Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin, linking platform activity to crypto momentum.
The cryptocurrency market is finally showing signs of a turnaround after more than two months of turmoil that saw Bitcoin (BTC) enter a bear market. However, this year appears to have started on a positive note, with Bitcoin surpassing $93,000 on Monday after falling below $87,000 in the final days of 2025.
Cryptocurrencies have lately been trying to catch up with recent gains in equities and precious metals and defying recent geopolitical tensions. Investors’ risk appetite for riskier assets is being driven by the enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence stocks, which is boosting the broader market, including cryptocurrencies.
Given this situation, it would be ideal to take the buy-the-dip approach and invest in crypto-focused stocks before the next crypto rally. We have selected three stocks: NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA - Free Report) , Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD - Free Report) and CME Group (CME - Free Report) . Each of these stocks has strong growth potential for 2025 and has seen positive earnings estimate revisions in the past 60 days.
Bitcoin Shows Signs of Rebound
Bitcoin was hovering around $93,200 on Tuesday morning, when it rose above $93,600 to hit a three-week high and surpass its 50-day moving average for the first time since the cryptocurrency turmoil that began in October.
The cryptocurrency is now up 6.5% for the year and is expected to capitalize on the ongoing tech rally. However, Bitcoin ended 2025 down 6% after giving up most of its gains in the final two months of the year. The cryptocurrency lost more than 24% in the fourth quarter. The decline came despite 2025 being a landmark year for Bitcoin that saw President Donald Trump’s administration introduce a series of industry-friendly policies.
However, 2026 has started on a high note, thanks to the ongoing tech rally that is boosting the broader market. Bitcoin often tracks the gains in technology stocks, which have been on a rally owing to the growing enthusiasm surrounding AI, which has been boosting investors’ confidence.
Also, recent geopolitical tensions arising out of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s arrest by the United States following a night raid have failed to dent investors’ appetite for riskier assets, while driving gains in gold and silver.
Understandably, the decline is temporary, and Bitcoin has enough potential to surpass its earlier highs this year.
