ETH Implied Vol has reset significantly lower post Merge, with ATM 1m Implied dropping by almost 20 points, despite Realized Vol thicking up remarkably due to the selloff. Positive Spot/Vol correlation keeps dominating this market.

Picture of the Week: From the Coindesk article showing the growth potential of crypto options. Here is the open interest across all BTC & ETH options as a % of market cap vs that of SPX and its options. As the crypto market institutionalizes, one could expect that gap to narrow.

Crypto options gathering steam. Great recap not only on use cases but also growth potential by our very own Marcin Maksymiuk coindesk.com/business/2022/…

Picture of the Week: Eth Merge implied volatility. With help from our friends @GenesisVol we showcase here the term structure and the 'premium' built in for September options.

0-2250: 43% 2250-3250: 38% 3250-4250: 13% 4250+: 7%

The results are reviewed below and we overlapped the ETH option 'smile' to show the implied vols of those corresponding price range. Something noticeable could be how ~20% voted 3250 or higher, yet those options trade 20-30 vols higher than at-the-money.

Poll Results: Over 200+ crypto and financial market participants responded to our quick ETH Merge Poll. Thank you! To frame the timing, the poll was sent out last Friday amidst a weak US GDP and markets rallying. ETH spot was circa $1,650.

This weeks is the timely podcast of Real Vision. Within the context of the prior podcast, this one discusses the curtailing macro headwinds coupled with Raoul Pal's view on the ETH Merge impact to the protocol. lnkd.in/gcCgyGgH

XoTW will be something EDG shares each week. It could be a Quote of the Week, an Article of the Week, etc... It is meant to spread thought leadership in the markets and economy by interesting producers.

ETH rallied and Implied Volatility Skew moved significantly higher. Bullish flows have been dominating the need for buying protection, thus calls became more expensive vs puts. Is it still possible to get cheap upside convexity? [Data: @GenesisVol]
