Crypto Derivatives: Analytics Report – Week 51

Crypto Derivatives: Analytics Report – Week 51

Key Insights:

The kink in the term structure of ATM volatility has shifted to shorter tenors as the expected date for an ETF announcement draws nearer, and outright volatility levels for tenors later than the end of January remain stable in the mid 50s. We have seen a recovery in BTC’s short tenor skew, driven by an increasing demand for OTM calls that has not been replicated in ETH’s surface. Instead, we see 1W ETH upside volatility falling while the 1M smile prices for a more neutral skew. Futures-implied yields climb higher once more, while the funding rate of both assets’ perpetual swaps continues to signal strong demand for leveraged long exposure.

ETH 25-Delta Risk Reversal – does not report the same recovery in short- tenors as BTC, appearing to be slightly dislocated at a 1W tenor.

Volatility Surface

BTC IMPLIED VOL SURFACE – highlights the recovery in 1M OTM calls relative to the rest of the surface in the last two days.

ETH IMPLIED VOL SURFACE – indicates that it is a decreasing demand for OTM calls rather than an increase in demand for OTM puts that has seen the 1W skew move in contrast to the rest of the term structure.
