Gate News, March 12 — According to observations from the Gate Research Institute, volatility in traditional assets has significantly increased, with the Gold Volatility Index around 33% and the Crude Oil Volatility Index approximately 108%, both reaching their highest levels since 2021. In the crypto space, Bitcoin’s implied volatility (IV) is about 54%, and Ethereum’s implied volatility is around 75%, both near one-year highs. Bitcoin Skew remains in the negative territory, indicating put options premiums dominate, but the demand for hedging has eased. GEX (Gamma Exposure) formed a notable positive Gamma peak near the March 27 expiration, suggesting short-term prices may be influenced by Gamma magnetic effects, with volatility tending to converge. The largest 24-hour block trade involved a long options strategy, with a Bitcoin bull spread of about 1,000 BTC and an Ethereum risk reversal structure of approximately 8,500 ETH. Additionally, Gate has officially launched options on gold and crude oil, marking the first time traditional assets are introduced as underlying assets on top of the existing 11 crypto asset options. Gold options are identified as XAUT, and crude oil options as XTI.
