According to data from Google Finance, the price of Tesla stock has been in terrible shape for the past few months. The Musk-led company’s stock fell 11% to settle at $109.10, marking the seventh straight day of declines with the worst decrease since April.

Consequently, Tesla lost its ranking as one of the top 10 most valuable firms in the S&P 500 Index, a distinction it had maintained for years. The electric car manufacturer’s market cap also decreased to around $345 billion, less than Walmart Inc., JPMorgan, and Nvidia Corp., resulting from the most recent selloff.

On the other hand, the most prominent crypto, Bitcoin (BTC), experienced positive growth in the last month, unlike Tesla, which has been down by over 40%. Nonetheless, data from the analytic firm, Intotheblock, suggested that BTC and Ethereum (ETH) have underperformed on the year-to-date time frame against traditional assets like the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100.

We’re looking back at 2022! And first up, let’s compare #crypto to traditional markets.

Furthermore, Intotheblock argued that the number of new addresses created on the BTC network climbed down by over 8% in the past seven days. This activity decrease suggests that investors may be uninterested in buying Bitcoin at the current price levels.
