Ether-Bitcoin Implied Volatility Spread Widens Ahead of Spot ETH ETF Debut
The spread between the implied volatility indexes for ether and bitcoin has widened, indicating excitement about the upcoming launch of spot ether ETFs in the US. However, institutions may use these ETFs to set up non-directional basis trades, which could affect volatility pricing. The demand for ether ETFs may also be lower than expected, as open interest in ether futures is significantly less than bitcoin futures. The true impact of the ether ETFs on volatility and institutional acceptance of ether will only be seen once they are launched and their actual inflows and volume are observed.
