Gate Research Institute: Options delivery scale hits a new high, short-term market volatility may intensify

According to observations from Gate Research Institute, this Friday, the total settlement of BTC and ETH options is approximately $28.5 billion, while the implied volatility (IV) of BTC and ETH has dropped to 43% and 67% respectively, indicating that the market's pricing for short-term volatility is cooling down; in terms of skew structure, the skew of BTC across various maturities has converged to about -4 vol, with the short-term correction being the most pronounced, reflecting a significant decline in short-term bearish hedging demand, while ETH's skew shows a differentiated upward trend but remains stable for the long term, indicating that medium to long-term downside risk expectations are still under control; at the same time, the largest block trade in the market is: buying 92,000 BTC calls and selling 85,000 BTC puts, indicating that mainstream funds are more inclined to position a moderately bullish structure above key support levels.
