Fact Check
The evidence from the provided primary sources strongly and consistently supports the statement. The most direct evidence comes from a social media post by CoinMarketCap Research, a high-authority source, which explicitly discusses a 'divergence' in the Year-to-Date (YTD) performance of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The term 'divergence' directly implies that the assets did not move in unison, which is the core of the claim. Further supporting this, the financial data portal Benzinga provides tools to track cryptocurrency markets, including lists of top 'gainers' and 'losers'. The existence of such a feature is predicated on the fact that within a recent time period (e.g., the last 24 hours), some cryptocurrencies increase in price while others decrease. Finally, the PortfoliosLab comparison tool provides specific data showing different YTD returns for Solana and Ethereum (-0.46% vs -1.74%). Although both figures are negative in this specific snapshot, they confirm that the price movements of major cryptocurrencies are not identical, reinforcing the concept of divergence. The remaining sources were irrelevant as they discussed individual company stocks or were legal disclaimers, providing no information on cryptocurrency prices. There is no conflicting evidence among the relevant sources.
