Bitcoin Volatility Falls as Asset Matures, Charles Schwab Report Finds
A Charles Schwab report indicates Bitcoin's volatility has significantly decreased, now trailing some major tech stocks.Summary
A recent report by Charles Schwab indicates that Bitcoin's extreme volatility is declining as the asset matures and integrates into mainstream finance. In 2025, Bitcoin's historical volatility (HV) dropped to 42%, which is about half of its 2021 level, making it less volatile than major tech stocks like Tesla (63% HV) and Nvidia (50% HV) in the same year. Despite this trend, Bitcoin is still subject to sharp drawdowns, falling as much as 32% in 2025, though comparable declines were seen in tech stocks. When viewed over a longer term, Bitcoin's volatility remains high compared to traditional assets, but it is showing greater stability relative to other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. Schwab concludes that this evolution reflects Bitcoin's growing acceptance, evidenced by developments like Morgan Stanley moving closer to launching its own spot Bitcoin ETF.
