Ethereum exhibits higher correlation with tech-heavy Nasdaq than with the broader S&P 500. ETH-Nasdaq rolling correlation has ranged 0.4-0.75 since 2020, slightly above the BTC-Nasdaq relationship. ETH behaves as a tech-beta play during risk-on phases — its association with smart contracts, DeFi, and technology innovation means capital flows align with the tech narrative. ETH has underperformed pure Nasdaq during the 2022-2024 tech rally but outperformed during crypto-specific catalysts. For allocators thinking of ETH as technology exposure, the Nasdaq correlation is the most useful reference.
