On December 10th, the VIX index rose to a one-week high of 17.43 points, indicating increased market volatility, according to BlockBeats News via Golden Finance.

VIX Climbs to 17.43 as Cryptos Stay Stable
On December 10th, the VIX index, a barometer for market volatility, hit 17.43, according to Cboe Global Markets. This metric, linked to the cost of options on the S&P 500, serves as a risk sentiment gauge globally.
Despite the VIX rise, crypto markets, led by Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), showed resilience. The broad sentiment did not significantly alter immediate trading behaviors, with observers citing the move as indicating mild risk aversion rather than panic.
“Increased VIX levels are not always indicative of a significant disruption in crypto markets unless other macroeconomic shocks accompany them,” noted Edward T. Tilly, CEO, Cboe Global Markets: “The VIX represents a real-time market estimate of the expected 30-day volatility of the S&P 500 Index.” – Cboe Global Markets
Historical Patterns and Bitcoin Price Decline
Did you know? Historically, VIX levels below 20 usually do not trigger significant crypto market disruptions unless accompanied by larger macroeconomic shocks.
As of December 10, 2025, data from CoinMarketCap shows Bitcoin (BTC) currently priced at $91,893.54 with a market cap of $1.83 trillion and dominance at 58.47%. The 24-hour volume is $66.67 billion, up 22.07%. Over the past 30 days, BTC experienced a 12.38% price decline.
According to the Coincu research team, the moderate VIX rise suggests a short-term increase in hedging behaviors. Historical patterns indicate that such volatility spikes, if sustained, could lead to more defensive strategies in the crypto space.
