【BlockBeats】On January 16th, US stocks opened strongly, with the three major indices starting off robustly. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.11%, the Nasdaq increased by 0.47%, and the S&P 500 also gained 0.22%. However, the performance of cryptocurrency-related stocks showed some divergence.

Among mining and Bitcoin-related companies, MSTR declined by 0.4%, COIN dipped slightly by 0.2%, and CRCL fell by 0.6%. But SBET showed an independent trend today, rising by 1.05%. The most eye-catching was RIOT, which surged by 7.7%—mainly because the company recently signed a data center leasing agreement with AMD, a partnership that provides new technical support for computing power resources.

The only regret was BMNR, which fell by 2.7%, making it the weakest stock today. Overall, cryptocurrency concept stocks today are in a phase of divergence, with fundamentals and partnership news being the main drivers of stock prices.

RIOT's recent move supported by AMD is indeed quite aggressive. However, judging by the timid performance of other concept stocks in the crypto space, solid and genuine collaborations are still necessary to support the scene.

RIOT's recent AMD partnership is really impressive, soaring by 7.7%. However, MSTR and COIN are still falling; the divergence is quite obvious.

RIOT's recent collaboration with AMD is indeed interesting, but with MSTR and COIN showing no movement, it's a bit concerning. It feels like the market is testing people.

RIOT's move this time is truly awesome. AMD's protocol has directly surged to the top. Just worried it might be another pattern where the good news is fully priced in again.

RIOT's recent surge is pretty good, but honestly, it's mainly the AMD endorsement effect. Lowering the computing power cost is the real deal; otherwise, it's still the same old narrative. I'm still optimistic about projects with real partnerships; pure concept stocks aren't worth chasing. The 2.7% drop in BMNR is a bit interesting—could there be some rumors? In a differentiated market, you need to be more selective and not just touch everything.

riot's amd deal is textbook stakeholder alignment theater... historically precedent suggests these infrastructure plays get priced in quick then reality hits different

RIOT teaming up with AMD took off immediately. This is what I mean by fundamentals—don't just speculate on concepts, have real substance.
