Ether's price volatility declined in July, falling to its lowest since November 2024, according to various measures of these fluctuations.
The 30-day annualized volatility of the world's second-most valuable digital currency by total market capitalization dropped to 52.76% on July 26, according to figures compiled by investment manager Blockforce Capital.
At this point, the measure was at its lowest since November 5, 2024, additional Blockforce Capital data reveals.
Further, the cryptocurrency's annualized 60-day volatility reached 58.42% on July 14, its lowest since November 10.
The chart below helps illustrate this activity:
Both of these annualized volatility measures managed to reach their lowest points of 2025 during a month when ether prices climbed more than 60%, according to Coinbase figures provided by TradingView.
More specifically, the digital asset rose from approximately $2,400 near the start of July to more than $3,900 closer to the end of the month, additional Coinbase data supplied by TradingView reveals.
Any ether investor who has followed the crypto space over the last few months would know that the digital currency's 30-day and 60-day annualized volatility managed to reach their lowest point of 2025 during a month where the broader industry benefited from multiple developments that helped boost visibility.
The first example took place on July 1, when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission helped clear things up a bit by issuing guidance on exchange-traded product (ETP) applications. In the guidance, the SEC emphasized the importance of providing certain disclosures.
Several market observers lauded the move, predicting that it could bring about a notable increase in applications for such products.
This was only the beginning of the activity that took place during the month, as several crypto experts testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on July 9.
Summer Mersinger, the CEO of nonprofit industry group the Blockchain Association, Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Timothy Massad, who previously headed the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, were all in attendance.
The U.S. House of Representatives took decisive action to help establish a more mature regulatory framework for digital currencies by voting in favor of three separate pieces of legislation, including the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act), the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, known as the CLARITY Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act.
President Donald Trump has already signed the GENIUS Act, which provides regulatory clarity for stablecoins, into law, while the Senate is expected to consider the other two bills over the coming months.
The CLARITY Act in particular would help flesh out the exact jurisdiction that the SEC and CFTC have over the crypto space, which would make things easier for industry participants.
In addition, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce made some overtures to the broader crypto space when she invited industry participants interested in tokenization to meet with both the government agency and its staff.
This move presents a contrast to the approach of regulation by enforcement that the SEC took while former Chair Gary Gensler was heading up the government agency.
