$BTC Outperforms Most #Crypto Sectors Despite 26% Drop, Glassnode Reports


$BTC declined 26% over the past three months but still delivered better returns than most cryptocurrency categories, with $ETH falling 36% and AI tokens dropping 48% during the same period. The performance gap shows capital concentration favoring Bitcoin even as overall market capitalization fell 27.5%.


Glassnode reported that nearly all crypto sectors underperformed Bitcoin from mid-September through mid-December. The on-chain analytics platform stated that this persistent relative weakness highlights an environment where investment flows prioritize $BTC over alternative digital assets.


$ETH dropped approximately 36% since mid-September to current levels below $3,000. The decline represents a steeper downturn than Bitcoin experienced during the three-month window despite both assets pulling back from earlier highs.


#AITokens fell 48% while the #memecoin market capitalization tanked 56% according to CoinMarketCap data. Real-world asset tokenization projects declined 46% over the same timeframe, showing weakness across multiple token categories.
