Alphabet has just reached a key milestone—its stock price increased by 1.7%, and its market capitalization crossed the $4 trillion mark. For tech giants, this is not just a numbers game but a reflection of the market’s continued optimism towards their AI initiatives and cloud computing businesses.

In the current macroeconomic volatility, the market cap highs of technology leaders like Alphabet often signal a rebound in risk appetite. For cryptocurrency investors, this signal is worth noting—the strong performance of traditional financial giants usually boosts overall risk asset sentiment.

From another perspective, the ongoing investments by tech companies in AI and digital infrastructure are actually reshaping the entire industry landscape, and this change will eventually ripple into the Web3 ecosystem.

Hey, isn't it 4 trillion now? Traditional finance has fully entered AI... what are we still waiting for?

Oh wow, Google is about to take off again. In our crypto circle, we still have to go along for the ride.

Wow, it's rising again. This time, big companies are eating the meat while small investors are drinking the soup. Wait, can this really drive the crypto market up? Why am I still in the red... Google's bet on AI is indeed a bit aggressive. How will the partners share the pie? 4 trillion? That's outrageous, really outrageous. Traditional finance is impressive. When will it be our turn in Web3?

The figure of 40 trillion is actually quite inflated; the key is how deep this game of AI can go.

Google breaks 4 trillion, now tech stocks are really taking off Traditional giants rise, and the crypto circle follows the hype, that's the logic AI infrastructure reshapes the industrial chain, Web3 is still the same old tune, a bit boring 4 trillion USD compared to BTC market cap, roughly enough for one Bitcoin... really outrageous Tech giants are strong as ever, but this kind of signal's impact on the blockchain space is a bit mysterious

It's another day of Google price hikes, and traditional finance players really can't sit still anymore. Big companies are eating the meat, we’re just sipping the broth. When will it be Web3's turn? The AI bubble has inflated to this point—let's see who takes the final baton. Four trillion sounds impressive, but compared to the zeros in my wallet, it's all the same. Risk appetite is returning? That’s a signal to get on board. I would have gone all-in yesterday if I had known.

Wait a minute, can a 1.7% increase really indicate a rebound in risk appetite? According to research, the signal-to-noise ratio of single-day gains is actually much lower than we imagine. From a technical perspective, the market cap breakthrough of Alphabet is just an appearance—what truly matters is the actual revenue growth data of its cloud computing division, not the stock price fluctuations themselves. In summary, the correlation between Web3 and traditional tech stocks may be seriously overestimated. --- It's the same old "market signals" story, as if the transmission mechanism is transparent. I think it's more about psychological expectations at play—are the fundamentals really that significantly improving? --- From a data perspective, the 4 trillion yuan figure is indeed eye-catching, but what I care more about is the degree of divergence between market value and actual value creation. The AI bubble theory is currently being discussed so intensely for a reason. --- It's worth noting that strong performance of tech giants does not equal a comprehensive recovery of risk assets. This linear thinking has actually harmed many people in the blockchain circle; we still need to look at specific on-chain data to speak.

actually, let me break this down—alphabet hitting $4T isn't just bullish sentiment, it's a signal function where traditional finance liquidity flows into risk assets, ceteris paribus. the real variable here? whether trad finance's AI bet actually translates to web3 infrastructure plays or if we're just watching capital rotate through the same old tech winners while defi gets left holding the bag
