Bitcoin, Ether and Solana options volatility falls together as skew converges

Across the 24 hours ending 16:30 UTC on 10 September 2026, Ether’s one-week at-the-money implied volatility fell 2.31 volatility points to 50.00%, the largest move among the three markets. At-the-money implied volatility is an options-based measure of expected variability. Bitcoin’s one-week ATM IV fell 1.48 volatility points to 38.99%, while Solana’s one-week ATM IV fell 1.70 volatility points to 52.96%, according to Derivasys data. The range between Solana’s one-week ATM IV and Bitcoin’s one-week ATM IV narrowed 0.22 volatility points to 13.97 volatility points. Bitcoin’s 24-hour spot-index return was -2.30%, Ether’s 24-hour spot-index return was -2.23%, and Solana’s 24-hour spot-index return was unavailable.

01 · Market read

The day across the three live Derivasys markets.

Ether’s one-week ATM IV declined 2.31 volatility points, compared with a 1.70-volatility-point decline in Solana’s one-week ATM IV and a 1.48-volatility-point decline in Bitcoin’s one-week ATM IV. The cross-asset range for one-week ATM IV changes was 0.83 volatility points. Ether’s one-week ATM IV was 7.71 volatility points above Ether’s seven-day realised volatility, versus a 6.81-volatility-point gap between Bitcoin’s one-week ATM IV and Bitcoin’s seven-day realised volatility. Solana’s corresponding implied-versus-realised comparison was unavailable.

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

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.
