Bitcoin Volatility to Plummet Below Nvidia by 2026?

By 2026, Bitcoin's volatility may decrease to levels below those of high-growth U.S. technology stocks such as Nvidia. Crypto asset manager Bitwise predicts that both Bitcoin and Ethereum are poised to reach new all-time highs in the coming years. This optimism is fueled by growing institutional interest and increasing regulatory clarity within the cryptocurrency market.

The firm suggests that a maturing market structure and a larger presence of long-term investors could significantly bolster the cryptocurrency industry. Bitwise notes that Bitcoin's volatility has been steadily declining over the past decade, and its correlation with the broader equity market is expected to weaken. Crypto-specific factors, like regulatory progress, are anticipated to drive performance.

Beyond Bitcoin, Bitwise forecasts that Ethereum and Solana could also set new record highs in 2026, contingent on the passage of the CLARITY Act in the U.S. Stablecoins and tokenized financial assets are identified as major trends, with Ethereum and Solana positioned to benefit substantially. This outlook anticipates the approval of numerous new crypto-linked exchange-traded funds.
