A report from Grayscale Research, published on October 14, 2026, indicates that Bitcoin's one-year realized volatility has reached 43%. This figure is lower than the asset's ten-year average of 64% and represents a significant decline from the 81% volatility recorded five years ago.
According to the analysis, Bitcoin is currently less volatile than 57% of the companies listed in the S&P 500. The report specifically compares Bitcoin to several major stocks, noting that its volatility is lower than that of Oracle, Honeywell, SanDisk, and Coinbase.
The data shows that Coinbase exhibits a realized volatility of approximately 70%, while SanDisk reaches around 110%. However, Bitcoin remains more volatile than Amazon, which stands at roughly 31%, and JPMorgan, which is at 20%.
Grayscale attributes the stabilization of Bitcoin to increased liquidity, higher institutional participation, and the growth of regulated investment vehicles, such as spot exchange-traded funds.
