Annually, $BTC volatility has dropped below that of top tech stocks, including $TSLA, $META, and $NVDA.
What does this mean for #Bitcoin? 🧵
👉 #Bitcoin's 1-year realized volatility is 44.88%, compared to over 50% for top tech stocks among the "magnificent seven". This signals #BTC's growth toward becoming a more mature and stable asset class.
👉 #Bitcoin's early years saw high volatility (over 200%), common for new assets with rapid growth & limited capital.
👉 #Bitcoin’s recent price action closely mirrors #gold's in its early years, with an initial period of high volatility followed by gradual subsidence as the market matures.
👉 @Fidelity's researcher Zack Wainwright explains: "Bitcoin was nearly half as volatile in 2024 at $60,000 when compared with 2021. When putting this all together, a thesis pointing toward a growing acceptance of Bitcoin due to potential maturation begins to emerge."
@Fidelity 👉 So what's next? Historically, the period of lower volatility has come before major price increases. Do you think history will repeat itself?
@Fidelity 👉 @BlackRock's Robert Mitchnick predicts institutional giants like sovereign & pension funds will engage with spot #Bitcoin ETFs in the coming months.
Institutional investors prefer lower volatility for more predictable returns that fit their risk management strategies.
@Fidelity @BlackRock With volatility dropping, what do you think will happen to the $BTC price in the coming weeks? 💬

🔍 EXPLAINED: If you've been wondering about the difference between onchain volume and trading volume in crypto, you're not alone. Let's break down these crucial metrics in simple terms. 🧵
Onchain volume represents all cryptocurrency moving directly between wallets on the blockchain. This is the most transparent view of fund movement, capturing every wallet transfer, smart contract interaction, and payment on the network.
Trading volume tells a different story - it shows us how much crypto is being traded on exchanges. We saw this in action when Bitcoin ETFs launched, generating an impressive $4.6 billion in trading volume on their very first day!
📖 INSIGHT: MicroStrategy's journey to becoming one of the largest #Bitcoin holders globally is a masterclass in corporate financial engineering. Here's how they're using debt to fuel their Bitcoin acquisition strategy. 🧵
It all started in August 2020 with a modest $250 million Bitcoin purchase using cash reserves, but MicroStrategy quickly realized they could scale faster by leveraging debt through convertible notes and bonds.
Their innovative approach involves two main financial instruments: convertible notes that can become company shares later, and senior secured notes backed by company assets, allowing them to raise billions for Bitcoin purchases.
Launched in 2019, it's a blockchain project that's got the crypto world buzzing - but is it legit or just another scam?
Let's break it down: 🧵

🚨 Vitalik Just Made a Bold Statement at Ethereum Singapore 2024
Ethereum’s co-founder took the stage to highlight a critical shift: solo stakers could be the key to Ethereum’s long-term security.
Here’s why it matters:
Why Solo Stakers Matter
Solo stakers are the backbone of Ethereum's decentralization. By staking individually, they reduce reliance on large institutions and protect the network from centralized control.
Defense Against 51% Attacks
Even with a small percentage of $ETH staked, solo stakers make it harder for any single entity to take over the network or execute a 51% attack.
