Options Risk Premium Climbs Across Stocks and Gold as Implied Vol Stays Muted in 2025, Hedging Costs Rise

According to @business, options risk premia are rising across assets from stocks to gold even as implied volatility on benchmark indexes has been steady or falling for most of this year (source: @business via Bloomberg). For traders, this points to higher hedging costs despite muted headline vol, increasing the carry risk for short-vol strategies and elevating the importance of timing and structure selection for protection (source: @business via Bloomberg). The divergence between richer protection pricing and subdued benchmark IV suggests concentrated demand for asset-level hedges, making close monitoring of skew and term structure essential (source: @business via Bloomberg). Crypto market participants should track BTC and ETH options for similar IV-versus-premium divergence by watching skew and the IV–RV spread, taking their cue from the cross-asset signal highlighted (source: @business via Bloomberg).

ETH Options Skew Turns Bearish After 4000 Crash, BTC Vol Seen Lower

According to @GreeksLive, ETH briefly fell to 4000 yesterday, breaking multiple technical indicators and shifting risk pricing in derivatives. According to @GreeksLive, implied volatility across major tenors changed little, but options skew flipped toward puts with put premiums substantially exceeding calls, signaling heightened downside risk. According to @GreeksLive, overall options volume did not spike, yet market makers moved into gamma amplification territory and some purchased protective puts. According to @GreeksLive, options traders remain focused on downside risks, with a sustained break below key supports and the 4000 psychological level viewed as a strongly negative signal that could force bear market repricing in options. According to @GreeksLive, BTC shows a similar setup but the market expects lower BTC volatility and more consolidation, with ETH technical indicators carrying greater weight. According to @GreeksLive, the market stays optimistic on the fourth quarter with positioning already underway, while current options flows emphasize short term risk hedging.

ETH $10k Mention by @AltcoinGordon: 3 Trading Signals to Watch Now

According to @AltcoinGordon, ETH could reach 10,000 dollars, shared via a short X post on August 23, 2025, which signals a bullish stance from the author without providing timeline, data, or methodology. Source: @AltcoinGordon on X, Aug 23, 2025. Treat this as a sentiment signal rather than a confirmed catalyst, and validate with objective market gauges such as rising spot volume leading perpetuals, funding rates turning positive and expanding, and call-skew increasing on 25-delta options before taking trend-continuation risk. Source: @AltcoinGordon on X, Aug 23, 2025. There is no confirmation that ETH has reached 10,000 dollars and no official guidance from Ethereum-related organizations was cited in the post, so sizing and entries should defer to live order book, open interest, and implied volatility rather than headline momentum alone.

Ethereum (ETH) Breaks $4,400: IV and Skew Surge; $330M Block Call Options Highlight Bullish Flows
