Ether options lose call premium as one-week skew narrows sharply

Ether one-week RR25 fell 1.99 volatility points to 0.82% at the 16:30 UTC cutoff, sharply narrowing call-side volatility’s premium over put-side volatility without reversing it. Ether two-week ATM IV fell 0.56 points to 47.36%, and Ether’s 24-hour spot-index return was -1.03%. Derivasys data show Ether one-week ATM IV at 48.08%, 4.32 points below seven-day realised volatility of 52.40%.

Solana options price richer convexity as front-end volatility firms

Solana three-month BF25 rose 0.88 volatility points to 5.36% at the 16:30 UTC cutoff, a notable 87th percentile move in comparable history that lifted the premium for wings relative to at-the-money volatility. Solana one-week ATM IV also rose 2.00 points to 55.38%, while front-end ATM IV averaged 54.21%, up 1.26 points. Solana’s 24-hour spot return was unavailable in the realised-volatility comparison.

Altcoin options volatility dispersion widens as AVAX pulls away from TRX

Altcoin one-week ATM IV dispersion widened 13.25 volatility points to 62.19 points, an observed high, as AVAX one-week ATM IV rose 10.37 points to 77.42% while TRX one-week ATM IV fell 2.88 points to 15.23%. The resulting gap makes the complex markedly less uniform, with AVAX retaining the highest implied-volatility level and TRX the lowest.

Major-coin options keep Solana volatility well above Bitcoin

Solana one-week ATM IV stood at 53.62%, 18.99 volatility points above Bitcoin one-week ATM IV at 34.63%; the level spread widened 0.21 points. All three major-coin one-week ATM IV measures rose on the day, led by Solana’s 2.72-point increase versus Ether’s 2.11-point increase. The common repricing therefore left the relative-volatility hierarchy intact rather than closing the gap.

Bitcoin spot-index return was positive 1.16% over the same 24 hours.

Major-coin options raise near-term volatility with Solana leading

At the 16:30 UTC cutoff, Solana's one-week at-the-money implied-volatility reading was 53.92%, up 4.05 volatility points—the largest increase across the major-coin options markets. At-the-money implied volatility is the market's estimate of expected price movement centred on the prevailing price. Ether's one-week at-the-money implied-volatility reading reached 52.42%, an increase of 3.94 volatility points, while Bitcoin's one-week at-the-money implied-volatility reading reached 38.10%, an increase of 3.33 volatility points. The Solana–Bitcoin one-week at-the-money implied-volatility change range was 0.72 volatility points. The Solana–Bitcoin one-week at-the-money implied-volatility level gap was 15.82 volatility points after widening by 0.72 volatility points. Solana's one-week 25-delta risk reversal, which compares call and put implied volatility, fell 2.59 volatility points toward puts to 1.89%, while remaining call-rich. The Solana–Ether one-week 25-delta risk-reversal level gap narrowed by 2.28 volatility points to 3.37 volatility points. Derivasys data underpin these options-market observations.

Altcoin options split on implied-versus-realised value between TRX and AVAX

At the 16:30 UTC cutoff, Derivasys data showed TRX one-week at-the-money implied volatility 4.82 volatility points above TRX seven-day realised volatility, while AVAX one-week at-the-money implied volatility was 1.96 points below AVAX seven-day realised volatility. The TRX-versus-AVAX one-week implied-versus-realised range was 6.78 volatility points. AVAX one-week at-the-money implied volatility rose 3.21 volatility points to 58.69%, while TRX one-week at-the-money implied volatility fell 1.68 volatility points to 20.02%. Implied volatility reflects the market's pricing of expected movement; realised volatility measures movement already observed. Over the 24 hours to the cutoff, AVAX spot-index return was -0.62% and TRX spot-index return was 0.29%.
