The price volatility of Bitcoin has fallen sharply due to the influence of spot ETF funds.

Abstract generation in progress

The trading model of Bitcoin has been changing significantly since the launch of spot ETFs in January 2024, leading to a decrease in price volatility to levels not seen before.

On August 4, Bloomberg ETF analyst — Eric Balchunas — stated that the 90-day volatility of Bitcoin has now fallen below the 40 mark, the lowest since the ETF launched, while previously this index had exceeded the 60 threshold.

Balchunas compares this decline to gold, showing that Bitcoin's volatility is now only less than twice that of gold, rather than more than three times as it was before.

According to him, this new stability could be a signal for a long-term development phase, where Bitcoin no longer experiences explosive price increases followed by sharp declines, but will shift to a trend of milder fluctuations. This stability also makes Bitcoin more attractive to institutional investors and enhances its potential to be accepted as a means of payment.
