Bitcoin's Volatility Drops, Sparking Institutional Interest and 'Digital Gold' Comparisons
  • Current Bitcoin valuation is considered undervalued by approximately $16,000 relative to gold, suggesting potential for substantial price growth as market stability and adoption increase.

  • With Bitcoin trading around $111,950 near its recent all-time high of $124,128, the reduced volatility and valuation gap highlight its growing attractiveness and room for upward movement.

  • Bitcoin's volatility has decreased significantly from nearly 60% at the start of 2025 to about 30%, making it more appealing to institutional investors and drawing comparisons to traditional safe-haven assets like gold.

  • The 200-day moving average continues to serve as a strong technical support level, supporting a long-term bullish outlook despite some short-term caution reflected in options market hedging.

  • Global inclusion of Bitcoin in major indices, such as FTSE Russell's upgrade of Metaplanet and its inclusion in the FTSE All-World Index, has driven passive inflows and increased market stability.

  • Institutional interest is expanding, with companies like KindlyMD and BSTR adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset or aiming to become major corporate holders, while a future price target of $1.3 million by 2035 has been predicted by Bitwise.

  • Market dynamics show passive investment through index funds contributing to steady demand, reducing reliance on speculative trading.

  • There is an ongoing debate about Bitcoin's role as 'digital gold' and its correlation with U.S. equities, particularly tech stocks, over the years.

  • New entrants like Adam Back's firm are entering the market to compete with established crypto treasuries such as MARA Holdings and MicroStrategy.
