According to a report from CryptoBriefing referencing Glassnode data, profits for Bitcoin are falling while altcoin profitability remains unusually steady, marking an atypical breakdown in historical correlation across the digital-asset market. The divergence has raised questions among investors about whether traditional cycle signals still apply and whether risk models for altcoins must be re-calibrated. The shift could make positioning more difficult for diversified crypto portfolios and may increase correlation risk between large-cap and small-cap crypto assets.
