According to a report by Crypto Briefing, Grayscale's research indicates that the correlation between crypto assets and Bitcoin is decreasing, with Bitcoin currently explaining only about 50% of the return volatility across various crypto sectors.The report breaks down the annualized volatility and the impact of Bitcoin-related factors by sector: the annualized volatility of the currency sector is 49%, with 43% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the smart contract platform sector is 58%, with 38% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the finance sector is 59%, with 30% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the utilities and services sector is 67%, with 30% attributed to Bitcoin; the annualized volatility of the consumer and culture sector is 76%, with 46% attributed to Bitcoin; the artificial intelligence sector has the highest annualized volatility at 85%, with only 35% attributed to Bitcoin.The research points out that Bitcoin's own annualized volatility has recently been around 43%, while the volatility of all sectors tracked by Grayscale is higher than that of Bitcoin. The report suggests that lower correlation does not imply lower risk, but the fact that Bitcoin explains only half of the return volatility means that the other half is driven by factors specific to each sector, providing investors with a reference for assessing which sectors can offer true diversification.
