I don\u2019t know if you were surprised by that, but I feel like if this had happened a year or two years ago, we would have had a huge move, but markets were flat to even a little bit up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Retail traders did not panic. Instead, they kept buying familiar stocks like Nvidia and Tesla, both of which are popular among those betting on artificial intelligence and electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<h2>Interest Beyond the Top Ten<\/h2>\n<p>Tenev also highlighted new areas of interest outside the most popular names. He pointed to rising attention around stablecoin firm Circle (CRCL), and telehealth company Hims and Hers (HIMS).<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.

However, Tenev said that group of investors had already been active in energy markets, and that recent geopolitical headlines have not shifted their behavior in a major way.<\/p>\n<p>The overall trend, according to Tenev, remains focused on innovation. Investors still appear drawn to sectors like artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, defense, and fintech.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSo heavy in the AI space with companies like Nvidia, Tesla, electric vehicles, big in crypto and fintech-related companies. So it\u2019s very much long innovation. Some companies like Palantir, obviously in the defense space, continue to be retail favorites, but that was always the case, that\u2019s been the case for many, many years.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong> Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
