The day across the three live Derivasys markets.
The major-coin complex separated at the one-week tenor, with a 4.40-volatility-point ATM IV change range between Ether and Solana.
Cross-sectional observations
One-week ATM IV level dispersion: Widening: absolute level gap 15.26 vol points; absolute gap change +0.99 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 4.40 vol points. Stored daily changes across 3 assets.
ETH stands apart: 1W ATM IV change is 4.25 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 15.26 vol pts; daily one-week ATM IV changes span 4.40 vol pts across the complex.

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 2.1–2.9 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.
