Volatility halved across four major altcoins in 14 days — ADA, DOT, SOL, LINK all below 37%
- ADA, DOT, SOL, and LINK have each cut their annualised volatility roughly in half over the past 14 days, while BTC compressed more modestly.
- ADA fell from 70.3% to 29.7%, DOT from 84.1% to 36.9%, SOL from 65.2% to 30.4%, and LINK from 63.7% to 30.2%; BTC compressed from 41.6% to 32.6% (ratio 0.78x vs 0.42–0.47x for the altcoins).
- Simultaneous, deep volatility compression across this many large assets is unusual and suggests the market has entered a quieter phase after the turbulence of early-to-mid April.
