Comparing Bitcoin and Ethereum Implied Volatility by Delta

Article Amberdata research
Read the original

Summary

The document introduces charts for comparing Bitcoin and Ethereum options implied volatility across delta levels. It describes two views: a spread calculated by subtracting Ethereum implied volatility from Bitcoin implied volatility, and a ratio calculated by dividing Bitcoin implied volatility by Ethereum implied volatility. Users can select expirations for each asset and overlay their delta volatility smiles, allowing them to inspect relative option pricing across comparable points on the smile.

The page offers a chart description rather than an empirical analysis or trading rule. It gives no sample, performance evidence, interpretation framework, or guidance on hedging a relative value position. The comparison therefore serves as a visualization for exploring BTC–ETH volatility differences; conclusions would require additional analysis of expirations, liquidity, and the behavior of the underlying volatility surfaces.
