Bitcoin Options Market: Implied Volatility Higher than Realized Volatility - The Time to Sell Options Has Come

10x Research's latest analysis points out that the options market data for Bitcoin and Ethereum presents different trading opportunities. The current implied volatility of Bitcoin is higher than realized volatility, making selling options, especially selling call options, particularly advantageous in this case.

On the Ethereum side, it is exactly the opposite; the implied volatility has dropped below the realized volatility, so buying options to seek potential upside opportunities is relatively more cost-effective.

The relationship between this volatility is an important reference for options traders. Implied volatility being higher than realized volatility means that the option price is relatively "expensive," and sellers can receive a relatively high premium, provided that future actual volatility is lower than market expectations.
