100 Stock Market Terms Everyone Must Know in 2026

What is the '100 Stock Terms' Guide?

The "100 Stock Market Terms Everyone Must Know in 2026" is a curated list of the most critical vocabulary in the investment world, covering both the Thai Stock Market (SET) and the US markets, explained simply for all investors.

Whether you are a beginner just starting out or a seasoned investor trading tokenized stocks on a DEX daily, knowing these terms will help you digest news, understand financial statements, trade correctly, and avoid falling victim to rumors or FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt).

In 2026, the global stock market is evolving rapidly, especially with tokenized stocks on Hyperliquid (HIP-3), allowing investors to trade Apple, Tesla, and NVDA 24/7 without needing a foreign brokerage account.

Amazing Stock Market Statistics for 2026

• Global Stock Market Cap: Over $110 Trillion — Up more than 15% from last year.
• Thailand's SET Index: Steady at 1,650-1,700 points — With daily trading volume reaching tens of billions of Baht.
• Hyperliquid Tokenized Stock Volume — Surging to over 45% of total volume within HIP-3 markets.
• Over 8 Million Thais — Now hold stock and crypto accounts (a 25% increase from last year).
• The 'Magnificent 7' Stocks — Still dominate the US market with a combined value of over $15 Trillion.

How do Stock Markets Differ from General Exchanges?

Traditional stock markets (like SET or NYSE) are Centralized Exchanges that require brokers, KYC verification, and have fixed trading hours.

• Old-School Brokers: Funds are held in brokerage accounts, which are not 100% transparently verifiable; requires account opening and waiting for fund transfers.
• Tokenized Stocks on DEX: Funds are held in smart contracts; transactions are verifiable by everyone on the blockchain; trades 24/7 via Hyperliquid HIP-3.

This is why terms like P/E Ratio, Dividend Yield, and EPS remain vital in 2026—you can apply them to both real-world equities and tokenized assets simultaneously.
