The day across the three live Derivasys markets.

Skew diverged across the constituents: Bitcoin and Ether 1W RR25 shifted toward calls, while Solana 1W RR25 shifted toward puts. All three 1W RR25 readings remained negative under the call-minus-put convention. The cross-asset 1W RR25 level range narrowed from 4.00 volatility points at the prior cutoff to 2.72 volatility points. Matching history for the shared ATM decline is unavailable.

Cross-sectional observations

One-week ATM IV level dispersion: Compression: absolute level gap 18.52 vol points; absolute gap change -3.24 vol points. Historical percentile rank 43%. Stored one-week tenor comparison at this cutoff across 3 assets. 32 historical observations; minimum 20.

Daily one-week ATM IV-change dispersion: The cross-asset spread is 3.24 vol points. Historical percentile rank 57%. Stored daily changes across 3 assets. 32 historical observations; minimum 20.

BTC stands apart: 1W ATM IV change is 3.11 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.

Descriptive supporting evidence

Joint event comparison

Unavailable: 2 complete historical observations; at least 20 are required.

Each observation contains aligned 24-hour spot-index returns and 1W ATM IV, RR25 and BF25 changes for every covered asset. Matching requires the same direction category in every dimension; near-flat tolerances are ±0.10% spot, ±0.25 ATM IV points, and ±0.10 RR25/BF25 points.

Historical window: 2026-09-24T17:28:00+00:00 to 2026-09-27T19:05:00+00:00. No joint rarity percentile is estimated. Causality is not assessed.

One-month minus one-week ATM IV

Term-structure regime changes

A genuine sign crossing requires strictly opposite nonzero endpoints. An exactly zero slope is a zero touch. Version 2 separately requires both endpoints to clear opposite sides of ±0.50 volatility points for a material regime change. This deadband is provisional, not fit-calibrated or a rarity claim.

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 2.3–3.5 times VIX, while short-window equity correlations remained mixed.

Original report summary

Bitcoin, Ether and Solana all recorded lower 1W ATM implied volatility: the equal-weight daily 1W ATM IV change was -7.46 volatility points against the October 8 cutoff. Bitcoin's daily 1W ATM IV change was -5.34 volatility points, versus Solana's -8.58 volatility points. Ether's larger decline also helped narrow the cross-asset level range, while skew adjustments differed across constituents.
