#BTCvsMarkets Bitcoin has evolved from a volatile outsider to a more composed player in global finance. Once infamous for wild price swings, its volatility recently dropped below that of some major tech stocks like Tesla and even gold. That’s a big shift—especially considering Bitcoin’s annualized volatility used to be five times higher than the S&P 500.

Even more intriguing? Bitcoin's correlation with traditional markets is fading. As of late 2023, its relationship with indices like the NASDAQ dropped to near post-pandemic lows. That means Bitcoin might actually strengthen portfolio diversification instead of tracking stocks.

Still, BTC isn't a safe haven—yet. It’s maturing, yes, but unpredictable regulatory moves and macroeconomic shifts keep it edgy. The real question now is: will Bitcoin become a mainstream store of value or remain a high-risk, high-reward outlier? The markets are watching.
