Bitcoin's price is as jumpy as Nvidia's and eight times more turbulent than the euro
比特币价格像英伟达一样跳动，波动性是欧元的八倍
CoinDesk's Nvidia comparison gives traders a useful volatility benchmark, but the eight-times-the-euro framing risks making Bitcoin's turbulence look like a fixed trait rather than a regime traders must price around.
Judgment
Portfolio allocators and risk managers should set BTC position size and hedge budget from the current 90-day realized volatility, not from an assumption of permanent convergence toward fiat-like stability; the cost is lower BTC weight or hedging spend while vol stays near Nvidia’s ~37%.
Basis
CoinDesk’s Omkar Godbole (edited by Sheldon Reback) reports that BTC’s 90-day realized volatility was about 38% as of Thursday, versus about 37% for Nvidia, about 23.5% for gold, about 11% for the S&P 500 and 4.6% for EUR/USD. The article defines realized volatility as the annualized standard deviation of daily returns and says the comparison matters when deciding whether an asset diversifies a portfolio or adds volatility risk. It also notes BTC’s 90-day volatility averaged about 58% since January 2020, peaked at 134% in June 2020 and hit its calmest reading of 27.5% in September 2025 when prices rose above $100,000.
