Bitcoin Options Remain Pricey Despite Calm Market

Bitcoin's price has been relatively stable in recent times, with its 30-day realized volatility dropping to 21.80%, the lowest since October 2025.

This indicates calm price movements, but there is a caveat: the 30-day implied volatility remains near 36%.

This means that Bitcoin options are still expensive due to high expected price fluctuations, even though the spot market is stable.

The difference between short-term implied and realized volatility is at a one-year high, suggesting that the market expects sharper price movements ahead.
