Solstice CEO says crypto volatility is easing as liquidity grows

Solstice CEO Ben Nadareski says crypto markets may be moving away from the extreme boomandbust patterns seen in earlier cycles. He argued that deeper liquidity and broader institutional participation are helping to reduce price swings across major digital assets. Speaking on Cointelegraph’s Chain Reaction show, Nadareski said trading conditions have improved even during bear markets, making large volatility spikes less likely than in 2017 or 2021. He added that crypto is becoming more of a market for institutional capital and household wealth than for shortterm speculation. The article also points to market data that supports lower volatility in Bitcoin, including a decline in oneyear realized volatility and higher daily spot volumes. Nadareski also said Solana’s stablecoin market could grow substantially over the next five years, citing faster transactions, lower fees, and rising fintech adoption.
