Crypto volatility in freefall. Ethereum launches Shandong testnet. Europe to develop energy efficiency label for blockchains.

Chart(s) of the Week: Crypto Volatility Freefall

  • Crypto volatility continues to fall, as seen in the options implied volatilities (vols) downtrend for both BTC and ETH. Implied vols are derived from the options market and are typically used as forward-looking measures of risk. 1-week implied vol for BTC currently is at 43.7%, the lowest level this year. 
  • While one interpretation of the low volatility could be less cautious sentiment, it could also be seen as a somewhat dull environment from a short-term trading perspective as the price is essentially stuck in a narrow sideways range. The low implied vols potentially also indicate relatively cheap prices for downside protection via options.
