We recommend Torus for first-time users.The performance of tech stocks is a common metric widely watched in crypto circles, but CME Group says that movements in the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 tend to impact the price of ether more than the price of bitcoin.
While bitcoin and ether are both known for volatile price swings, the exchange rate between the world's two largest cryptocurrencies appears somewhat stable in comparison with a daily volatility rate of about 30% over the past year, according to the report. That's compared to 42% for bitcoin's price and 59% for ether.
Still, the correlation between prices of the two cryptocurrencies has hovered at around 0.85 for the past year, suggesting a very close relationship.Ether also appears to be more sensitive to swings in the U.S. dollar, and the ETHBTC rate reacts more strongly to changes in bitcoin supply than it does to ether supply, according to the report.
