According to BlockBeats, Matrixport has released a daily chart report indicating that the current actual volatility of Bitcoin is relatively low compared to the bull markets of 2020/2021. This may be due to the rise of alternative assets with high volatility (such as meme coins), or institutional investors gradually replacing more volatile retail traders as the dominant force in the market.
Currently, Bitcoin spot ETF options have officially launched, providing a new window for observing market dynamics. Against the backdrop of Bitcoin's 30-day actual volatility being at a moderate level, 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, which is expected to enhance market liquidity and attract more participation from professional investors.
Note: Prior to today's report, the U.S. Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) announced on its official website that it is preparing to launch spot Bitcoin ETF options. According to the disclosed notice, the OCC is preparing for the clearing, settlement, and risk management of spot Bitcoin ETF options, which will comply with the new options listing process outlined in the options listing procedure plan.
