BTC daily surface: 1W ATM IV rises 3.82 volatility points — 21 June 2026

01 · Executive summary

What changed across the BTC volatility surface.

Universe roll: added 25JUN26; removed 21JUN26. Comparisons use common expiries only.

03 · ATM volatility

Standard-tenor ATM implied volatility.

04 · Risk reversals

RR25 skew moved most at 1W.

RR25 moved towards puts, averaging -0.43 volatility points across the six headline tenors. Negative RR25 denotes a richer 25-delta put wing under the call-minus-put convention.

05 · Butterflies

BF25 convexity changed most at 1W.

BF25 increased, averaging +0.19 volatility points across the six headline tenors. BF25 measures the average 25-delta wing premium over ATM IV.

06 · Expiry effects

Near-settlement moves, shown with context.

Contracts with fewer than 2 full days to expiry remain in the tables but are excluded from headline rankings. Settlement proximity, time decay, changing liquidity and fewer quotes can exaggerate their changes.

07 · Volatility term structure

Today against the previous 24-hour snapshot.

The ATM chart above is the standard-tenor term structure. The listed-expiry table below preserves the exchange maturity detail underneath those interpolated tenors.

08 · Smile movement

Reconstructed SVI smiles for every common expiry.

Each overlay uses the stored five-parameter SVI fit and the snapshot-specific time to expiry. Ultra-short expiries are displayed but do not determine the headline ranking.

Each cell is the fitted IV change in volatility points. Rows are listed expiries; columns run from the put wing through ATM to the call wing.

09 · SVI diagnostics

Daily movement in a, b, rho, m and sigma.

Among ranking-eligible expiries, the largest absolute rho change occurred at 10JUL26; the largest sigma change occurred at 3JUL26.

Fixed tenors

Fixed-tenor measures are interpolated independently at 1W, 2W, 1M, 3M, 6M, 9M and 1Y; headline rankings prioritise 1W, 2W, 1M, 3M, 6M and 1Y.

Smile reconstruction

Listed-expiry smiles are reconstructed from stored SVI total-variance parameters on a fixed log-moneyness grid.

Ultra-short expiries

Expiries with fewer than 2 full days remaining stay in detailed tables but are excluded from headline rankings. Settlement proximity, time decay, changing liquidity and fewer quotes can exaggerate their changes.
