Stock market investors are showing less confidence compared to cryptocurrency traders as concerns over artificial intelligence impact risk assets. U.S. chipmakers have dropped about 20% in two weeks, and the NASDAQ-100 had its worst week since April 2025. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) hit its highest level since July, signaling increased market anxiety. Meanwhile, Bitcoin remains steady around $80,000-$84,000 despite seasonal volatility increases, with implied volatility rising but still relatively lower compared to equities. Crypto traders are cautious, with rising demand for downside protection, especially for Ethereum, ahead of key events like the U.S. midterm elections and Federal Reserve meetings. The main question is whether stock market fears will escalate into panic and if cryptocurrencies can keep their relative strength amid ongoing uncertainties.
