4E: Cryptocurrency concept stocks soar pre-market, MicroStrategy rises over 10%

On November 21, news reported that Trump's team is discussing the establishment of a new position in the White House specifically responsible for cryptocurrency policy. This comes on top of previous reports that the Trump Media Group is negotiating to acquire the cryptocurrency trading company Bakkt, leading to increased optimism about the prospects for the cryptocurrency industry under the Trump administration. Cryptocurrency concept stocks soared pre-market, with MicroStrategy rising over 10%. As of the time of publication, Bitcoin is priced at $97,530, moving closer to the much-anticipated $100,000 milestone. The rise in Bitcoin has attracted a large amount of liquidity, while Ethereum and altcoins have generally declined.

U.S. stock index futures are broadly down, with the Dow futures down 0.15%, Nasdaq 100 index futures down 0.40%, and S&P 500 index futures down 0.29% as of the time of publication.

On Thursday, the Hong Kong stock market closed lower, with the Hang Seng Index down 0.53%, the State-Owned Enterprises Index down 0.79%, and the Hang Seng Tech Index down 1.24%, reflecting generally weak market sentiment. However, as Bitcoin approaches $100,000 and continues to set new highs, cryptocurrency concept stocks have shown active performance by rising against the market trend, with Blue港互动 up over 54%, 博雅互动 up nearly 17%, and OSL Group up nearly 2%.
