Bitcoin ETF Making Bitcoin Less Volatile

A new Bloomberg report shows how Bitcoin ETFs have reduced the asset’s volatility since the launch of the products. The United States approved spot Bitcoin ETFs in January and subsequent inflows pushed up the price of the asset to a new all-time high above $73,000. Although corrections are recorded, these inflows and institutional buys reduce to volatility of the asset. 

Richard Galvin, the co-founder of DACM stated that institutional buying heightened by the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs will decrease volatility. Historically, Bitcoin swings have plummeted although it’s stuck higher than gold and other assets. This shows in the 180-day measures for financial assets among other factors. 

Charlie Morris, an executive at ByteTree Asset Management added that Bitcoin has seen increased value buyers who help to reduce volatility pointing to institutional investors. “Whenever the gold price falls, there are many value buyers such as bullion dealers, jewelers, and central banks, who buy the dip enthusiastically.” 

This volatility also has an appeal to traders and remains a long way off that mark compared to other financial assets.

Bitcoin Price Wobbles

Last week, Bitcoin opened with reduced sentiments due to Mt Gox creditor’s repayment and the German government sales. These events plunged the asset below the $54,000 market although a rebound boosted sentiments. At press time, BTC trades at $58,625, a 1.6% increase in the last 24 hours. Similarly, altcoins and meme tokens have also seen inflows in the same period. Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $50 billion and counting making up over 4% of Bitcoin’s supply. Analysts also tip institutional demand into spot ETFs as a catalyst for a market upswing.
