COINOTAG News reports that Matrixport’s latest market analysis shows Bitcoin options implied volatility skew continuing to soften over the past week. The short-term skew expanded from about -3. 5% to -10. 6%, signaling a surge in near-term downside hedging demand, while the long-end skew fell from roughly -1. 9%, indicating a more cautious stance on long-tail risk. From an options pricing perspective, downside risk pricing rose across instruments, with implications for near-term hedging and contracts expiring next year. The current implied volatility sits near 58%, signaling a higher near-term risk premium and a guarded medium-term outlook rather than a one-off shock.
