Major-coin options diverge as Solana volatility pulls away from Bitcoin

One-week ATM IV dispersion across Bitcoin, Ether and Solana widened 4.70 volatility points to 20.52 points. Solana’s one-week at-the-money implied volatility stood at 57.12% after rising 3.20 volatility points, while Bitcoin’s one-week at-the-money implied volatility fell 1.50 volatility points to 36.60%; Ether’s one-week at-the-money implied volatility was 53.06%. The result is a sharper relative-volatility split across major-coin options.

01 · Market read

The day across the three live Derivasys markets.

The one-week ATM IV range between Solana and Bitcoin expanded to 20.52 volatility points from 15.82 points. Solana led both the level and daily increase, whereas Bitcoin was the lowest-volatility and only declining major.

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

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.
