Morgan Stanley is inching closer to launching the first spot Bitcoin ETF issued by a major US bank, a move that underscores just how far the cryptocurrency<\/a> has traveled from its wild early days.<\/p>\n

The bank recently received an official NYSE listing notice for its fund, MSBT \u2014 a step that analysts say typically signals a debut is near.<\/p>\n

Wall Street\u2019s Deepening Embrace<\/h2>\n

That development arrives alongside fresh data<\/a> from Charles Schwab showing Bitcoin\u2019s price swings have dropped sharply over the past four years.<\/p>\n

According to the firm\u2019s analysis, Bitcoin\u2019s historical volatility hit 42% in 2025 \u2014 roughly half what it recorded in 2021. For context, Tesla\u2019s historical volatility<\/a> came in at 63% that same year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nvidia\u2019s was 50%. Both exceeded Bitcoin\u2019s. Measures of daily price movement told a similar story, with Bitcoin<\/a> tracking closer to major equities than the volatile fringe asset it once resembled.<\/p>\n

Schwab concluded the shift reflects Bitcoin\u2019s deeper integration into mainstream finance, now trading on major exchanges worldwide through regulated products and ETF<\/a> wrappers. The report described Bitcoin\u2019s volatility as having \u201ccalmed down\u201d as it matured.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Still, calm is relative. Bitcoin dropped as much as 30% in 2025, with losses carrying into early 2026. Over a three-year stretch, the asset fell 50% from peak to trough.<\/p>\n

Those numbers are significant by almost any measure \u2014 but not unique. Tesla\u2019s worst drawdown over the same period hit 54%. Nvidia<\/a> fell 37% at its low point. The data suggests high-growth technology stocks can swing just as hard, or harder, than Bitcoin on a bad run.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Long View Tells A Different Story<\/h2>\n

Zoom out further and Bitcoin\u2019s profile grows more extreme. During the 2022 market downturn, Bitcoin fell 77% from its peak. Tesla<\/a> dropped 74%. Nvidia lost 66%. The losses were steep across the board, but Bitcoin\u2019s were steeper.<\/p>\n

Schwab also put Bitcoin up against commodities. Silver futures often moved more erratically on a day-to-day basis, despite recording smaller overall declines.<\/p>\n

Gold<\/a>, by contrast, posted steadier gains at lower volatility \u2014 a clear reminder that Bitcoin, whatever its trajectory, still operates in a different risk class from traditional safe-haven assets.<\/p>\n

Within crypto markets, Bitcoin\u2019s relative stability has grown more noticeable. Ethereum continues to trade with higher volatility and deeper drawdowns, and the gap between the two assets has widened since 2021.<\/p>\n

A Benchmark Shift In The Making<\/p>\n

The Schwab report lands as Bitcoin increasingly gets measured against blue-chip equities rather than speculative assets. Whether that framing sticks may depend on how the asset behaves through the next major market stress test \u2014 a question the data cannot yet answer.<\/p>\n
