Bitcoin's Volatility Correlation with U.S. Stock Market Hits Record High

According to PANews, recent data from CoinDesk reveals that the 30-day implied volatility index for Bitcoin (BVIV/DVOL) and the 90-day correlation coefficient with the S&P 500 volatility index (VIX) has reached a historic high of 0.88. This indicates a significant increase in the linkage between the cryptocurrency market and U.S. stock market volatility. Currently, the correlation coefficient remains elevated at 0.75. Analysts suggest that this trend reflects the dominance of Wall Street institutions in the current cryptocurrency market cycle. Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, notes that institutional investors are compressing volatility by selling large amounts of call options, thereby making Bitcoin's price movements increasingly influenced by traditional market risk preferences. This year, the BVIV index has decreased from 67% to 42%, while Bitcoin's price has risen by 26%, breaking the historical pattern of simultaneous movement between the two.
