Will TradFi Kill BTC USD Volatility? Lessons on Maturation From Forex?

Wall Street may be taming Bitcoin’s mood swings, turning BTC USD a little more like a major forex pair.

Bitcoin held near $115,700 on Sunday, Sept. 21, as a growing question took center stage: is TradFi steadying Bitcoin’s swings or changing their shape?

The debate picked up after fresh inflows to the largest US spot Bitcoin ETF and new remarks from Michael Saylor.

In a Saturday interview on the Coin Stories podcast, Saylor said calmer price action helps, not hurts: “You want the volatility to decrease so the mega institutions feel comfortable entering the space and size.”

He called it a normal “growing stage” as products and liquidity deepen.

On the derivatives side, CME said crypto options notional open interest hit a record $7.1Bn on Sept. 9, led by Bitcoin contracts, evidence that hedging tools for bigger players keep expanding.
