High valuations and declining liquidity are damaging investor confidence, with funds flowing into stocks. Tokens and stocks have similar upside potential, but their risk profiles are completely different: tokens peak faster (<30 days) and face greater volatility, while stocks deliver more stable returns over a longer time horizon. Stocks enjoy a higher valuation premium compared to tokens: this premium can be attributed to institutional access requirements, index inclusion potential, and the broader range of trading strategies supported by stocks.
