01 · Market read
The day across the three live Derivasys markets.
The major-coin story was dispersion rather than a uniform repricing: SOL’s one-week ATM IV fell substantially faster than the BTC and ETH equivalents.
This is a comparison, not a pooled surface: each asset keeps its own forwards, expiries, SVI fit and realised-volatility history.

Major-coin options diverge as solana volatility drops fastest
Major-coin options saw a pronounced short-dated divergence: SOL one-week ATM IV fell 7.61 volatility points, versus a 1.17-point fall for ETH, creating a 6.44-point dispersion. SOL nonetheless retained the highest one-week ATM IV at 53.34%, 22.31 volatility points above BTC’s 31.03%. Ether carried the richest relative put-side volatility, with 1W RR25 at -2.00 volatility points.

Solana drives major-coin divergence
Solana’s one-week implied volatility declined far faster than Bitcoin’s or Ether’s during the session.
Macro
US-Iran tensions appeared in Bitcoin market reporting during the window.
Crypto
Coinbase resolved a delay affecting Solana sends and receives.
Completed-session cross-asset context
Crypto volatility against VIX and SPX.
The benchmark comparison is separately timestamped to the latest completed US session; it does not replace the intraday crypto surface cutoffs above.
BTC and ETH and SOL 30-day implied volatility remained 2.2–3.4 times VIX, while short-window equity correlations remained low.

06 · Methodology and provenance
A derived publication with no duplicated market data.
The report is assembled at request time from the immutable BTC, ETH and SOL daily-report artifacts for the same UTC report date. It is omitted unless all three exist. Cross-asset averages are descriptive and equal-weighted; no attempt is made to combine distinct volatility surfaces into a single fit.
