$BTC Volatility Drops as Sophisticated Trading Matures Market


$BTC hit $118,667 on Friday, but experts warn the climb will be slower than previous bull runs.


The flagship cryptocurrency's volatility has dropped to 29.5% from 100% in 2021 as the asset matures.


$BTC #ETFs pulled in over $1 billion on Thursday as well as Friday, marking their second-biggest day ever.


The options market has exploded from a $15 billion peak in 2021 to over $42.5 billion on Deribit in May.


Sophisticated traders are now selling call options, adding liquidity and dampening price swings.


"A slow and steady grind higher is sustainable, unlike a massive, bubble-like rally," said Amberdata's Greg Magadini.


#BlackRock IBIT led #ETF inflows with $448.5 million, followed by Fidelity's FBTC at $324.3 million.


The 2017 surge saw $BTC rocket 2,360% from $786 to $19,345, far outpacing 2025's 25% gain.
