SPY and Bitcoin Volatility Indexes in Derivatives Trading

Article Amberdata research
Read the original

Summary

This podcast introduction describes a discussion with T3 Index founder Simon Ho about volatility indexes, options trading, and building an index business. It identifies Spike as an index derived from SPY options that competes with the Cboe VIX, and mentions T3’s Bitcoin volatility index, BitVol. These examples illustrate how options prices can underpin volatility measures for equity and crypto markets.

The page gives no index construction details, calculation method, performance evidence, or discussion of how a trader might use either measure. It is an episode overview rather than a technical guide, so readers seeking implementation or evaluation methods will need more information from the episode itself.

Key ideas

  • The episode introduces T3 Index and its founder’s options trading background.
