IMF agency said:

“Key drivers of the increased interconnectedness of crypto and equity markets in Asia could include growing acceptance of crypto-related platforms and investment vehicles in the stock market and at the over-the-counter market, or more generally growing crypto adoption by retail and institutional investors in Asia, many of whom have positions in both the equity and crypto markets.”

The correlation between the crypto & securities market is seen in Asian countries mainly India, Thailand, and Vietnam. 

According to the IMF, the possible reason behind the increasing correlation between these two markets took place because of the spontaneous decrease in the risk associated with big market cap assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. 

“Before the pandemic, crypto seemed insulated from the financial system. Bitcoin (BTC) and other assets showed little correlation with Asian equity markets, which helped diffuse financial stability concerns.”

Covid-19 & impact on small income generators

When the Covid-19 pandemic was at its peak level in mid of 2020 then at that time many people lost their jobs. To generate revenue by sitting at home, the majority of the people started to do online activities like freelance work, blogging & investment in the stock & crypto market. 

Due to the sudden inflow of funds in the crypto market, the crypto market showed a bullish increment in the prices of assets and that attracted not only new investors but also stock market Investors.
