From TikTok trends to the record-shattering performance of tech stocks, the digital universe has shaped financial markets and culture in new ways throughout 2025. Social media has remained a launchpad for everything from viral challenges to stock trading broadcasts, as platforms like TikTok continue to wield immense influence over what listeners discuss, purchase, and even invest in. Meanwhile, tech stocks have surged to fresh highs—confirming that innovation isn’t just driving entertainment, but also the mechanisms of modern wealth.
Just this week, the NASDAQ continued its strong run, staying well above its 50-day moving average. Analysts on Investor’s Business Daily reported that growth stocks and technology shares were among the main drivers, with major names like Nvidia and Broadcom up sharply thanks to unflagging demand for artificial intelligence chips. Taiwan Semiconductor, the world’s largest chip foundry, is expected to release monthly sales figures that could move markets even further, considering its recent quarters have posted staggering earnings growth. In the last year alone, Taiwan Semiconductor’s bottom-line accelerated from 47% to 79% quarterly growth, underscoring the global hunger for advanced processors that power AI, smartphones, and data centers.
Among the standouts, Quanta Services—a key provider of infrastructure for data centers—marked a breakout moment with steady volume and robust 20% quarterly growth. Their success is intrinsically linked to the rise of AI, as they help build power plants fueling massive data operations. Even newer players like Figure, the blockchain-powered financial technology firm, have caught investor attention. Figure’s IPO just a few weeks ago was priced well above expectations, and though its stock has shown classic volatility, its fundamentals look promising. Early first-quarter earnings jumped 93%, with the second quarter doubling profit and posting a 31% revenue rise. Figure has pioneered lending services via blockchain, which is expected to disrupt home equity loans and other financial services.
Within software, CrowdStrike has rebounded with a solid breakout, despite some lagged strength in its relative performance line. The company's fundamentals are expected to strengthen heading into 2027, as it recovers from a difficult year marked by operational disruptions. Despite some rotation and volatility, the breadth of gains in the tech sector remains robust, with the equal-weighted S&P 500 and growth-focused ETFs showing sustained strength.
These trends mirror a wider cultural shift, highlighted by the intersection of social and economic influence. Social media content frequently sparks discussions that reverberate across trading forums and investment strategies, making financial literacy more accessible to everyday listeners. Platforms that once thrived on dances and memes now drive conversations about IPOs, earnings calls, and the latest must-watch tech stocks.
