Major-coin options diverge as Solana calls grow richer

Major-coin one-week skew separated sharply at the cutoff: SOL one-week RR25 stood at 5.86 volatility points, while BTC one-week RR25 was -2.60%, creating an 8.46-volatility-point spread that widened 4.46 volatility points. The contrast indicates markedly richer SOL call-side volatility and richer BTC put-side volatility, rather than a uniform directional signal across major-coin options.

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 2.3–3.7 times VIX, while short-window equity correlations remained mixed.

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.
