$BTC Beats Nvidia in Volatility Race This Year, Says Bitwise


#Bitcoin movements remained more subdued than Nvidia stock throughout 2025, signaling investor base diversification as institutional adoption accelerates.


Bitwise stated Wednesday that $BTC will continue to show less volatility than Nvidia in 2026 as digital asset price swings have steadily declined over the past decade. The shift reflects fundamental derisking as investor demographics broaden through traditional vehicles like exchange-traded funds.


$BTC experienced a 68% price change from April’s low of $75,000 to October’s all-time high of $126,000. Nvidia demonstrated higher volatility with a 120% swing from its early April low of $94 to late October’s peak at $207.


The chip giant's shares outperformed $BTC this year, gaining 27% year-to-date while #Bitcoin fell 8% as crypto markets decoupled from equities. Bitwise attributes the reduced volatility to diversifying ownership through #ETF products and institutional investment channels.


The asset manager made several bullish predictions for 2026, including new all-time highs and breaking of four-year cycles. Forces like halving events, interest rate cycles, and leverage-fueled booms weaken compared to past cycles.
