BlackRock IBIT volatility hits a new low, forming a positive cycle that attracts more institutions to get on board.

Gate News bot news, Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that the volatility of BlackRock’s Bitcoin spot ETF (IBIT) is at a historical low, attracting the interest of more large investors seeking “digital gold” rather than speculative tech stocks.

Balchunas stated that the ETF’s 90-day rolling volatility is 47.64, the lowest level since its launch in January 2024, and this stability can be self-reinforcing. As volatility decreases, larger and more risk-averse investors tend to enter the market, which in turn further suppresses volatility.

He stated that this trend has already formed, using the significant capital inflow into IBIT in recent weeks as an example. Data from Farside Investors shows that since its listing, IBIT has attracted a net inflow of $49 billion, which is more than four times that of the second-ranked Fidelity Bitcoin Spot ETF (FBTC), which has had an inflow of less than $12 billion.

In contrast, the software company Strategy (MSTR), which focuses on purchasing Bitcoin as a strategic priority, operates with a different appeal. MSTR attracts speculators and options traders chasing higher implied volatility (IV). However, even MSTR’s implied volatility recently dropped to 60%, while its historical volatility stood at 49%, leading to a lackluster price movement.
