Bitcoin volatility is lower than Tesla and Nvidia stocks, and the future price may exceed $100,000

As of May 11, Bitcoins annual volatility was approximately 44.88%, which has fallen below well-known technology stocks such as Tesla, Meta, and Nvidia (whose annual volatility exceeds 50%), marking its gradual transformation into a more mature and stable asset class.
According to a report by Fidelity Investments, Bitcoins volatility has been lower than 33 of the approximately 500 companies in the SP 500 index, showing its stability.
In addition, the decline in Bitcoins volatility indicates that investor sentiment is shifting in a positive direction, which may trigger a sharp rise in prices. With the approval of multiple Bitcoin spot ETF products in the United States, it is expected that major institutional investors will join in the coming months. Robert Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, pointed out that sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and endowment funds may see Bitcoin spot ETF transactions in the coming months.
Institutional investors typically have strict risk management regulations, and low-volatility asset classes are more consistent with their investment strategies.
Independent market analyst Scott Melker said: It is important to remember that this will take time; these companies are just beginning their due diligence… A large influx of institutional funds will drive Bitcoin prices to all-time highs. Melker expects that due to the expected ETF inflows, Bitcoin prices are expected to rise to the $100,000 to $150,000 range in the future. (Cointelegraph)

Survey: Some people see Nvidia and other technology stocks as inflation hedging tools comparable to gold

According to the latest Bloomberg Markets Live Pulse survey, some respondents said that the largest U.S. technology stocks are not only a bet on innovative industries, but also a possible hedge against inflation.
Gold, a safe-haven asset for decades, is still seen as the best protection against rising prices, according to 46% of respondents, but nearly a third said tech giants were their top choice.
The reaction highlights the dominant role that companies like Nvidia, Amazon and Meta play in U.S. financial markets as they expand their influence over major sectors of the U.S. economy. That allows them to generate steady profits, sparking rallies and convincing investors that they will continue to be sources of steady earnings. (Bloomberg)
