MarketBeat’s stock screener highlighted five cryptocurrency-related equities with the highest recent dollar trading volume — Galaxy Digital (GLXY), Bitfarms (BITF), HIVE Digital Technologies (HIVE), Digi Power X and Soluna — identifying them as the cryptocurrency stocks to follow now, the financial-news site reported on December 25 and updated December 27, 2025.[1]

What MarketBeat tracked

MarketBeat’s list is drawn from its automated screener that ranks stocks by recent dollar trading volume among companies it classifies as tied to the cryptocurrency ecosystem, a group that includes miners, exchanges, asset managers and data-center operators.[1]

The five companies MarketBeat highlighted

• Galaxy Digital (GLXY) — Described by MarketBeat as a diversified financial services and investment management company focused on digital assets, Galaxy operates trading, principal investment, asset management, investment banking and mining segments, offering investors multiple forms of exposure to crypto markets via a regulated equity vehicle.[1]
• Bitfarms (BITF) — Bitfarms is a cryptocurrency miner that operates data centers across several countries; MarketBeat cited Bitfarms’ inclusion based on recent trading volume among crypto-related equities.[1]
• HIVE Digital Technologies (HIVE) — HIVE is another publicly traded miner and blockchain infrastructure operator named on MarketBeat’s watchlist for its trading activity and role in the mining sector.[1]
• Digi Power X — MarketBeat included Digi Power X among the five highest-volume cryptocurrency stocks, reflecting investor interest in companies tied to crypto mining and infrastructure services.[1]
• Soluna — Soluna, which operates energy-optimized data centers and mining operations, rounded out MarketBeat’s top-five list for crypto-related equities by dollar trading volume in recent days.[1]

Why these stocks matter to investors

MarketBeat noted that the stocks provide indirect exposure to cryptocurrencies through corporate activities such as mining, exchange services, asset management and data-center hosting, but cautioned that equity investors face additional, company-specific regulatory and operational risks that differ from owning tokens directly.[1]

Context and market signals

The MarketBeat alerts follow a pattern the outlet has published through December 2025, where a rotating set of miners and crypto-services firms — including Galaxy Digital, Bitfarms and HIVE — repeatedly appear on watchlists when trading activity increases or as bitcoin and broader crypto market dynamics attract attention from equity investors.[5][7]

Analyst and product notes

MarketBeat’s coverage cross-references its subscription product, MarketBeat All Access, which it promotes as a source of additional research and alert tools for readers who want deeper analysis and model portfolios tied to these themes.[1]

Risks and considerations for readers

Financial commentators and aggregators like MarketBeat typically emphasize that cryptocurrency-linked equities carry dual exposure: they can move with underlying crypto prices while also being subject to traditional equity risks such as company execution, balance-sheet strength and sector-specific regulatory developments.[5][6]

Investors should weigh those factors and consider doing independent due diligence or consulting an adviser before making investment decisions based on a screener ranking by trading volume alone.[1][5]

What to watch next

• Short-term trading volume and liquidity in the named equities, which is what triggered the MarketBeat list.[1]
• Crypto-price trends (particularly bitcoin and major altcoins) that often drive sentiment and trading flows into related equities.[5]
• Regulatory or policy announcements affecting miners, exchanges and asset managers that could materially change operating costs or permitted activities.[5][6]
