Even though Bitcoin is showing one of its worst annual price results, its volatility has fallen to the lowest in nearly two years. The biggest cryptocurrency has become more stable than U.S. stocks.

Volatility has been a major barrier preventing cryptocurrency being widely adopted as a means of payment, and has slowed its mainstream acceptance. It has also made institutional investors skeptical about crypto’s ability to store value.

Bitcoin volatility is measured on a weekly basis. Among the most likely reasons for Bitcoin’s current “stabilization” are a fall in trading volumes over the last three months and the “waiting game” traders and investors are playing while waiting for clarity regarding digital asset regulations and jurisdictions.
