Standard Chartered has introduced a new hypothetical stock known as "Mag 7B" which replaces Tesla with Bitcoin for better performance.
The removal of Tesla and addition of Bitcoin is believed to align risk and return more closely with technology stocks.
The decision to replace Tesla with Bitcoin is based on the strong bond between Nasdaq-listed technology stocks and Bitcoin, as well as the lower volatility and higher performance of Bitcoin compared to Tesla.
While the removal of Tesla from the hypothetical index may not directly impact Tesla's stock price, it could signal a potential change in investor sentiment and result in short-term declines.
