Ethereum (ETH) is 1135.3× the size of Pearl (PRL) by market capitalisation. Their daily returns move barely in opposite directions (correlation -0.03 across 31 shared trading days). PRL has been the more volatile of the two, at 181% annualised against ETH's 65%.
| Period | PRL | ETH | Ahead |

| 30 days | +107.71% | +13.15% | PRL |
| 90 days | — | +54.23% | — |

| Metric | PRL | ETH |

| Risk-adjusted return (90d) | 0.60 | 0.97 |

Relative strength over 90 days: PRL outperformed ETH by 64.4% — measured on the PRL/ETH ratio, so it holds regardless of market direction.
Measured on daily returns rather than on prices. Two assets that both simply trend upward score near 1.0 on raw prices whether or not they move together, so returns are what answer the question people mean by correlation.
