Out of all the things that we weren’t expecting in 2020, the sudden surge in the stock and crypto markets takes the front seat. It is surprising to see these markets booming like never before, especially when thousands of businesses started to struggle with tens of millions of people left unemployed because of the pandemic. In this article, let’s understand the reasons that contributed to this growth in both Stock and Crypto markets and also see the contribution of new brokers and exchanges such as Moneta Markets in handling this demand. 

Analyzing The Growth of Stock Market     

Completely adverse to the current scenario, the stock market has seen a devastating bear run in the first quarter of 2020. Trillions got wiped out from the stock market in less than a month, and it was due to the onset of Covid-19 pandemic. However, the market has recovered swiftly and gradually started its bull run up till the year-end. 

Market experts anticipate that the stock market’s unexpected growth is because of the expectations people have over the post-pandemic scenario. That is when the vaccines are out, and the economy reopens to its fullest. These expectation has also resulted in spurring the interest among new investors over the stock market. According to JMP Investment Bank, in 2020, more than 10 million new accounts have been registered in all the brokerage firms combined.  

Talking about the same topic Michael Arone (chief investment strategist, State Street Global Advisors) said ‘One of the things that the pandemic has underscored more than anything else is that the stock market is a forward-looking mechanism. That’s been the tagline all year long as investors continue to scratch their heads wondering why the stock market could perform so strongly while the economy, labour market and earnings face such challenges. It’s more about future expectations than current conditions.’  

The below chart explains the brief bearish run and the current bull run of the stock market where we can see three of the many stocks that have grown tremendously in 2020.  

 The Performance of Crypto Market In 2020 

The entire crypto market’s capitalization at the end of 2020 is over one trillion US dollars. In retrospect, it was a mere 190 billion at the beginning of the year. That is a growth of more than 400% within a year. Crypto experts suggested that 2020 offered a perfect environment for the cryptos to thrive. 

As traditional assets took major blows due to the pandemic, there has either ways been a growing acceptance for cryptos in 2020. The valuation of Bitcoin has also surged from around $4k in March to ~$28k in December as institutional investors and global companies continued to buy and store this crypto. 

We can see the tremendous growth of some of the top cryptos in the below price chart.
