Bitcoin's BTC$92,049.24 volatility indexes are still declining, mirroring those of the S&P 500, bringing a price stability that weakens the case for a year-end rally, according to one analyst.
BTC's annualized 30-day implied volatility, as measured by Volmex's BVIV index, has dropped to 49%, nearly reversing the spike to 65% from 46% over the 10 days through Nov. 21, according to TradingView data.

Implied volatility is an options-based measure that represents the market's outlook for price swings over a specific period. The drop from 65% to 49% means expected price turbulence over the 30 days has declined from as much as 5 percentage points to 14%.
The VIX index, which represents the 30-day implied volatility in the S&P 500, has also dropped, reaching 17% from 28% since Nov. 20.
According to Matrixport, the so-called volatility compression suggests low odds of a year-end rally.
"Implied volatility continues to compress, and with it, the probability of a meaningful upside breakout into year-end," the firm said in a market update Wednesday. "Today's FOMC meeting represents the final major catalyst, but once it passes, volatility is likely to drift lower into the year-end."
Matrixport's view aligns with bitcoin's historical positive price-volatility correlation, though this relationship has gradually shifted toward the negative since November 2024.
On Wall Street, implied volatility compression is typically associated with a bullish reset in the market sentiment.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token
The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
