AMD's market cap has ranged $180B-$380B in 2024-2026 as it competes with NVIDIA on AI accelerators and gains server CPU share from Intel. Ethereum's market cap ($280B-$500B) is roughly 1-2x AMD. Both assets benefited from the 2020-2021 crypto mining cycle — AMD's GPUs powered Ethereum mining directly until The Merge. Post-Merge (Sept 2022) Ethereum switched to proof-of-stake and GPU demand from ETH mining collapsed overnight, a structural shift AMD had already priced in. The comparison is interesting for allocators thinking about compute-economy exposure: AMD captures value through silicon sales; Ethereum captures through blockspace fees + staking yields. Correlation spiked during 2020-2021 mining boom, decoupled post-Merge, and now trades independently on separate catalysts.
