Bitcoin Achieves Lowest Volatility in History at 2.24% in 2025
Bitcoin Records Least Volatile Year
- Bitcoin closed 2025 with the lowest volatility in its history, at just 2.24%, as per K33 Research data.
- This marks a continuation of a declining trend from 2023's volatility of 2.30% and staying below 3% for three consecutive years.
- The reduction in volatility suggests market maturity, with stability despite significant price corrections like a 16% drop in one day during Q4 2025.
- Crypto trader Niels noted that 2025 was the calmest year in Bitcoin’s history, even with a major correction of nearly 36% over two months.
The Start Of The ‘Institutional Era’
- Increased institutional participation is driving lower volatility, long-term holding, and less emotional trading.
- Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley links this to reduced regulatory risks and increased institutional adoption.
- 2025 saw the second wave of crypto Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) with notable performances from altcoins like Solana and XRP.
- Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood highlights potential growth from institutions, suggesting they have much more involvement ahead.
- Grayscale's Zach Pandl predicts 2026 could be the "dawn of the institutional era," potentially boosting Bitcoin prices amid legislative progress in the US.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $90,240, reflecting a 1.54% daily increase.
