TABLE USE CASE
- If you wanted to hedge against a benchmark (e.g. BTC) then you would need to find an altcoin that has a Beta close to 0 or preferably below 0 that would mean the altcoin is uncorrelated or negatively correlated with the benchmark (e.g. BTC). The RV would need to be below 1 , indicating the altcoin is less volatile than the benchmark (e.g. BTC) and it would need to have a low SD, suggesting that price fluctuations of the altcoin on its own are low and stable. Together, these traits suggest an altcoin could act as an effective hedge against a benchmark (e.g. BTC) and potentially an ideal addition in a long-term portfolio.
- If the goal is to outpace BTC (rather than hedge it), you would flip the logic and look for altcoins with a Beta greater than 1, an RV greater than 1, and a high SD. These traits indicate the asset tends to move more aggressively than BTC, making it suitable for a short-term portfolio aimed at amplifying short-term gains (though with higher downside risk as well should the market turn bearish!).
METHDOLOGY AND DEFINITIONS
- The data in the table above is automatically refreshed daily.
- The computations are based on the daily closing prices for each coin and each benchmark.
- Computations are made using daily log returns (previous 90 days to keep the figures recent and more relevant).
- Dates are aligned so altcoin assets and benchmark use the same overlapping days only.
- Beta describes how much the asset tends to move when the benchmark moves in a certain direction. Let’s say you’re measuring the beta of Cardano (ADA) against Bitcoin (BTC) (benchmark). If ETH has a beta of 1.75 relative to BTC then when BTC rises 1% ETH would be expected (on average) to rise 1.75% and when BTC falls 1% ETH would be expected to fall 1.75%.
- RV ( Relative Volatility) reflects how volatile an altcoin is relative to its respective benchmark (BTC, ETH, SOL) but unlike Beta is it not measuring a directional relationship. RV compares magnitude of volatility versus a benchmark. For example, if ADA’s RV of 2 vs BTC, it means ADA is twice as volatile as Bitcoin. If BTC moves sharply, you could generally expect ADA to swing twice as wildly (though not necessarily in the same direction because that is what beta is capturing). If instead an altcoin has an RV of 0.7, it would mean it’s 30% less volatile than BTC.
- Standard Deviation (SD) ignores benchmarks. It shows how much an asset’s price tends to move on its own, scaled to a yearly timeframe. Unlike Relative Volatility (RV), which compares an asset’s swings to a benchmark, SD is standalone — it looks only at the asset’s own variability. For example, if ADA has an annualised volatility (SD) of 0.90 (90%), it means ADA’s returns typically fluctuate by about 90% up or down over a year, regardless of what Bitcoin or any other benchmark does.
