According to ME News, on October 18 (UTC+8), crypto analyst Darkfost stated that since late August, the market capitalization of mid- and small-cap crypto assets has grown most significantly, with the gap between their monthly and annual market caps continuing to widen—currently reaching a ratio of 41%. In comparison, BTC’s ratio is approximately 7%, and large-cap crypto assets stand at just 3.5%. Darkfost noted that this structure is relatively uncommon, as markets are typically led by BTC’s initial momentum, such as after the bear market ended in 2023. However, mid- and small-cap assets are more sensitive to market shifts and trends can reverse quickly. (Source: ChainCatcher)

Summary
MetaEra reports that mid- and small-cap crypto assets have outpaced Bitcoin in market cap growth since late August. On October 18 (UTC+8), crypto market analyst Darkfost noted that the monthly average market cap of these assets has diverged from their annual average by 41%, compared to 7% for BTC and 3.5% for large-cap assets. This trend contrasts with Bitcoin’s typical leadership in market movements, as observed after the 2023 bear market. Mid- and small-cap assets are more volatile, and such shifts can reverse quickly. Despite this divergence, Bitcoin remains a key market benchmark.
