Volatility is the rate at which the price of a given asset rises or falls over a given period of time.
Bitcoin has historically been volatile, however recently this has not been the case, but this time the unusual stability has been accompanied by a sharp drop in transaction volume.
Last month, bitcoin trading volume was the lowest since November 2020, with 30-day volatility approaching five-year lows, data showed.
It is worth noting that Bitcoin volatility is now lower than the S&P 500 Index, technology stocks, and especially its closest competitor gold.
