ETF Era Doesn’t End Bitcoin Volatility

Despite the launch of US spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, sharp intraday crashes remain common. Friday’s wipeout joins other recent drawdowns, including:

15.4% on Aug. 5, 2024

13.3% on Mar. 5, 2024

10.5% just two days post-ETF debut

While ETFs have brought maturity, Bitcoin’s four-year cycle and thin liquidity still amplify volatility. Analysts warn it may take months or years for the market to stabilize post-ETF.

Many expected ETFs to smooth the market, but they’ve only amplified swings as new money reacts faster.
