Bitwise data shows Bitcoin’s short-term price swings have moderated sharply from early readings above 250%, underscoring a longer-term decline in volatility since 2013.
Bitcoin’s 30-day volatility has trended lower since 2013, with the long-term trend line now sitting below 50% through June 30, 2026, based on Bitwise data. The dataset indicates that Bitcoin’s earlier market cycles saw volatility spikes above 250%, while more recent readings point to a steadier pattern in short-term price movements. Falling volatility is often viewed as a sign of a maturing market, as larger liquidity and broader participation can reduce the scale of daily and monthly price swings.
