According to ChainCatcher messages, based on observations from Gate Research Institute, approximately 2 billion USD worth of BTC and ETH options will undergo concentrated settlement this Friday. The implied volatility (IV) of BTC and ETH remains at 43% and 61% respectively, still within recent low ranges. Over the past week, the 25-Delta Skew for BTC and ETH has shown a trend of low-level recovery and negative convergence, with the most significant improvement in short-term (7D) options, reflecting a cooling demand for short-term downside protection. Meanwhile, a block trade involving the purchase of BTC-300126-100000-C has traded approximately 3,000 BTC, with a net premium expenditure of about 3.2 million USD, indicating that mainstream funds prefer to deploy bullish structured strategies above key support levels.
