According to ChainCatcher, Gate Research Institute observes that approximately $2.1 billion worth of BTC and ETH options will be settled this Friday. The BTC and ETH IVs have fallen to 43% and 60% respectively, indicating that market pricing in short-term volatility is cooling. Looking at the BTC 25-Delta skew over the past week, the skew across all maturities has generally trended upwards with negative values converging, reflecting a slight easing in market pricing of downside risk. The ETH skew remains negative overall, but continues to converge. Meanwhile, the largest block trade was a buy BTC-300126-100000-C, totaling approximately 3,225 BTC, with a net premium expenditure of approximately $3.05 million, indicating that mainstream funds are more inclined to establish bullish positions above key support levels.
