Quarterly Statistical Properties

To understand the relationship between market capitalization and volatility, we analyzed quarterly data from 2021 to 2023. One key observation is the consistent decrease in price standard deviation during the market capitalization ascent from Q1 2021 to Q4 2022. Throughout 2023, despite some variability, the volatility levels remained relatively stable and aligned with the levels observed in 2022.

The quarterly breakdown of key statistical properties sheds light on the nuanced dynamics of BUSD:

No Correlation

The correlation coefficient between quarterly price standard deviation and quarterly market cap mean stands at a slightly negative value of -0.13, indicating a weak, but not significant, correlation.
This suggests that changes in price volatility are not strongly tied to fluctuations in market capitalization.
