According to TechFlow, on November 19, Matrixport released a daily chart showing that the actual volatility of Bitcoin is relatively low compared to the bull market in 2020/2021. This may be due to the rise of highly volatile alternative assets (such as meme coins), or institutional investors gradually replacing more volatile retail traders and becoming the dominant force in the market.
Currently, Bitcoin spot ETF options are officially launched, providing a new window for observing market dynamics. With Bitcoin's 30-day actual volatility at a medium 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 to move toward financialization, which is expected to increase market liquidity and attract more professional investors.
Earlier news, according to a notice released on the official website of the U.S. Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), the agency is preparing to launch spot Bitcoin ETF options. According to the disclosed notice, 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.
