BlockBeats News, on November 19, Matrixport released a daily chart report indicating that the current actual volatility of Bitcoin is relatively low compared to the bull market of 2020/2021. This may be due to the rise of alternative assets with high volatility (such as meme coins), or the gradual replacement of more volatile retail traders by institutional investors, becoming the dominant force in the market.
Currently, the spot Bitcoin ETF options have officially launched, providing a new window for observing market dynamics. In the context of the current moderate actual volatility of Bitcoin over 30 days, traders may push up implied volatility by buying call options or profit from attractive volatility premiums by selling options. The addition of an active options market is another important milestone for Bitcoin's financialization, expected to enhance market liquidity and attract more participation from professional investors.
BlockBeats Note: According to a report earlier today, the U.S. Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) has announced on its official website that it is preparing to launch spot Bitcoin ETF options. The disclosed notification indicates that the OCC is preparing for the clearing, settlement, and risk management of spot Bitcoin ETF options, which will adhere to the new options listing process outlined in the options listing program.
