Bitcoin's price volatility over the past year has decreased to 43%, below its 10-year average of 64%, and now falls within the range of volatility seen in many S&P 500 stocks. This shift is attributed to deeper market liquidity, increased institutional participation, and regulated access points like spot Bitcoin ETFs introduced in 2024. While Bitcoin remains more volatile than most individual stocks, it no longer stands out as uniquely risky, prompting investors to consider position sizing and portfolio integration similar to high-volatility equities. This trend reflects Bitcoin's maturation as a market asset, though larger price swings remain possible during market stress.
