Annualized volatility ranges from 49% in the currency sector, where bitcoin accounts for 43%, to 85% in the AI sector, where bitcoin explains just 35%. Smart contract platforms show 58% volatility with 38% bitcoin-attributed, financials 59% with 30%, utilities and services 67% with 30%, and consumer and culture 76% with 46%.

AI take
Grayscale's breakdown reframes crypto risk as increasingly sector-specific rather than a single bitcoin beta trade, with AI standing out as the most volatile and least bitcoin-driven corner. That matters for anyone treating digital assets as one homogeneous exposure, since diversification across sectors now behaves very differently than it did when bitcoin dominated. The open question is whether this decoupling persists as these sectors mature, or proves cyclical and re-couples in a broader risk-off move.
