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.

Market context

ETH spot-index return unavailable; 1W ATM IV rose 4.63 volatility points to 46.95% over the daily window. RR25 moved toward calls (+1.79 points); BF25 wing premium increased (+0.63 points); 0/3 assets had lower 1W ATM IV; partial native coverage (9/12 measurements).

Previous report, watch levels and methodology

One-week surface context; the published headline retains its original evidence basis. Cutoffs 5 Sept, 16:59 UTC to 6 Sept, 16:59 UTC.

Measured change since prior report

Prior comparison unavailable: the exact adjacent published edition could not be verified.

A structured watchlist was not recorded or could not be verified in the prior edition; prior-watch outcomes remain unavailable.

Next daily cutoff: measurable checks

These checks are reconstructed from this edition’s stored endpoints; they were not recorded in the original report.

  • Hold the observed level: ETH 1W ATM IV ≥ 46.95 percent at . Current level 46.95; threshold is the current observed endpoint.
  • Full retrace: ETH 1W ATM IV ≤ 42.32 percent at . Current level 46.95; threshold is the previous observed endpoint.
Measurement basis and receipt

These are observed-level conditions for the next aligned cutoff, with no forecast or trade action. Spot uses exact index endpoints where available; ATM IV is quoted in percent and its change, RR25 and BF25 in volatility points. Derived from verified legacy artifact endpoints.

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.

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.

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.
