Major-coin options widen volatility gaps as Ether leads repricing

Ether led the major coins’ one-week ATM IV increase, rising 4.63 volatility points against Bitcoin’s 2.36-point gain and Solana’s 3.08-point rise. Yet Solana remained the highest-volatility major at 54.69%, compared with Bitcoin at 36.83%. The relative move widened repricing dispersion without changing the established level ranking.

01 · Market read

The day across the three live Derivasys markets.

One-week ATM IV repriced most sharply in Ether, creating a 2.27-point spread over Bitcoin’s smaller increase.

This is a comparison, not a pooled surface: each asset keeps its own forwards, expiries, SVI fit and realised-volatility history.
