The momentum of low volatility faced by the cryptoactive market also had an effect on traditional stock markets. The Bitcoin (BTC) futures market traded on the Chicago Board and Option Exchange (CBOE) hit record levels of low volatility in October, in contrast to global stock markets.

The average weekly volatility in the week ended Oct. 26 was only 3% for future XBT-CBOE Bitcoin, the lowest level since they were launched for trading on December 10.

However, in the monthly chart, the October total recorded record levels of low volatility, an average of 6.6%. With this said the ETF is around the corner.
