Volmex launched the Bitcoin implied volatility index perpetual contract on Hyperliquid

Volmex has launched the Bitcoin Implied Volatility Index (BVIV) perpetual contract on Hyperliquid. This contract is based on options data from Deribit and OKX, reflecting traders' expectations of Bitcoin's volatility over the next 30 days, without reflecting the direction of the spot price.

Recently, the BVIV readings have been in the mid-high range of over 30 points. Each index point of the contract corresponds to a settlement of 1 USDC, using a per-position margin model, supporting a maximum leverage of 5 times, and has an hourly funding rate and a cap on the number of open contracts during the initial launch phase.
