- Beta of 0.32 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.01 this cryptocurrency is largely uncorrelated with S&P 500 Index — low beta reflects independence, not downside protection. See the Volatility section for a true picture of this cryptocurrency's risk.
- R² of 0.01 means this cryptocurrency moves largely independently of S&P 500 Index — capture ratios reflect limited market correlation rather than active downside protection. Consider using a more representative benchmark.
