Gate Research has reported significant increases in volatility indices for crude oil and gold, reaching new highs since 2021. The crude oil volatility index stands at 108%, while gold is at 33%. In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin's implied volatility (IV) is at 54% and Ethereum's at 75%, both reflecting elevated levels over the past year. Despite a negative BTC skew with put options leading, demand for safe-haven assets has slightly decreased.
Gate has launched new options for gold and crude oil, marking its first foray into traditional asset options alongside its existing 11 crypto asset options. This expansion offers traders enhanced cross-market volatility trading opportunities. The largest recent trading volumes included a BTC bull spread of 1,000 BTC and an ETH risk reversal of 8,500 ETH, indicating strong market activity. The introduction of these options comes amid heightened global macroeconomic volatility, providing traders with new tools for managing risk and trading volatility.
