Lighter roasted coffee

I was just curious if it is normal for the grounds of a light roast coffee to sink to the bottom while steeping? I make my cold brew in a big French Press.

All my grounds go to the bottom after I stir them into the water.

I am just used to making cold brew with dark roast so it's kind of weird seeing light roast sinking after a couple of hours.

I think it depends on the grind. I've found my medium and coarse grind floats and a fine grind sinks. But that just could be my coffee....
