The relative volatility of the world\'s leading cryptocurrency by market cap has been in a massive downtrend over the past several months.
In fact, Bitcoin is becoming less volatile relative to the S&P 500, the major stock market index.
Historically, Bitcoin was viewed as an extremely risky asset due to its high volatility compared to traditional markets.
Now, however, its volatility ratio has dwindled, and Bitcoin is behaving more like a traditional asset.
Andre Dragosch, head of research at Bitwise, has noted that Bitcoin is now transitioning from a risky asset to a safe-haven asset.
