Bitcoin BTC$82 486,39 is experiencing more unusually large price swings this year than during the 2018 bear market, even as its overall volatility has fallen sharply, and that's a challenge for anyone relying on standard risk models.

The largest cryptocurrency has recorded 10 days in 2026 when its price moved at least three standard deviations from its recent trading pattern, according to a CoinDesk analysis. That's more than the eight such days recorded during all of 2018, when bitcoin lost 73% of its value.

Traders measure these unusually large moves in ‘sigma,’ a measure of how far an asset's price typically deviates from its normal behavior. To quantify them, CoinDesk compared each day's price move with bitcoin's 30-day realized volatility, a measure of how much its price typically moved each day over the previous month. Any day that moved at least three times that amount, up or down, counted as a ‘3-sigma’ day.

In a normal bell-shaped distribution, about 95% of moves fall within 2-sigma, and 99.7% within three. That makes a 3-sigma move rare, which is why traders use it to flag outsized swings. A high count indicates an asset remains prone to sudden jolts, even if its overall volatility is cooling.

The findings suggest bitcoin has calmed down over the years, but it still has outsized days, and this year it has had them more often than in 2018. This means that bitcoin is experiencing more unusually large moves relative to its recent volatility, even though the moves themselves have become smaller. Bitcoin's annualized volatility is about 46% this year, compared with 84% in 2018, while its 3-sigma moves have averaged roughly 7%, down from about 10% eight years ago.

"Bitcoin still goes through long quiet stretches followed by sharp repricings, and that hasn't changed. The market has matured, with more institutions, ETFs and much deeper liquidity, so the average day is calmer. But the shocks haven't gone away: macro, leverage, positioning," said Nicolas Quatra

Financial firms are pursuing ways to represent traditional securities digitally and trade them using blockchain-based systems. Recent reporting on tokenized stock offerings and proposed trading venues points to continued experimentation in this area. Investors should distinguish a token’s legal ownership rights from the fact that it exists on a blockchain.

$GRVT Circle is bringing its USDC and EURC stablecoins into enterprise payment workflows through a partnership with Tereina, a financial services company backed by German enterprise software giant SAP.

The integration will allow businesses using SAP’s financial software to send and receive USDC and EURC within the applications they already use to manage payments. USDC will be the preferred stablecoin for dollar-denominated transactions, while EURC will be available for euro-denominated payments.

Tereina provides payment infrastructure that companies can embed into business software, allowing them to make payments without switching to a separate financial platform. Tereina and Circle said they plan to test the stablecoin integration with customers over the coming months, including for global payments and treasury operations.

SAP’s ecosystem generates 84% of global commerce, according to the announcement, giving the integration a potentially broad enterprise reach.

The move comes less than a month after Circle launched the mainnet of Arc, its layer-1 blockchain focused on stablecoin payments and financial markets. Arc uses USDC for transaction fees and supports more than 20 fiat-backed stablecoins, including USDC and EURC.
