Bitcoin Volatility Index and the S&P 500 VIX Boast Record 90-Day Correlation

Wall Street’s fear gauge and crypto’s wild child are moving in eerie harmony. The Bitcoin Volatility Index (BVI) and S&P 500 VIX just posted their tightest 90-day correlation on record—signaling either market maturity or the moment hedge funds start pretending they ‘get’ crypto.

Why This Matters

When traditional finance tremors shake Bitcoin’s price swings, it’s no longer a coincidence—it’s a pattern. Traders are treating crypto like just another risk asset, for better or worse.

The Cynical Take

Somewhere in Connecticut, a quant is frantically backtesting how to blame the Fed for their altcoin losses. Meanwhile, Bitcoin keeps absorbing institutional DNA—volatility and all.
