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.
Cross-sectional observations
One-week ATM IV level dispersion: Widening: absolute level gap 17.86 vol points; absolute gap change +0.72 vol points. Stored one-week tenor comparison at this cutoff across 3 assets.
Daily one-week ATM IV-change dispersion: The cross-asset spread is 2.27 vol points. Stored daily changes across 3 assets.
ETH stands apart: 1W ATM IV change is 1.55 vol points above the group median. Stored cross-section of 3 assets at this report cutoff.
This is a comparison, not a pooled surface: each asset keeps its own forwards, expiries, SVI fit and realised-volatility history.
Cross-sectional thesis
Where the complex is diverging.
One-week ATM IV level dispersion is widening, at 17.86 vol pts; daily one-week ATM IV changes span 2.27 vol pts across the complex.
BTC has the highest 1W IV-minus-7D-RV spread at +0.47 vol points; ETH has the lowest at -0.12 vol points. The range between these spreads is 0.59 vol points.

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 2.5–3.5 times VIX, while short-window equity correlations remained low.

Original report summary
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.

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.
