According to Glassnode, the 1W skew dropped from 8% to 1% while the 1M 25 delta skew only moved from 7% to 4% at the low, remaining in put asymmetry where downside risk stayed priced based on Glassnode data. Glassnode indicates that longer tenor skew holding a put premium suggests stickier demand for protection and a slower normalization of downside pricing beyond the front week, a setup traders can factor into hedging and options positioning.

According to @glassnode, the volume put call ratio and divergence across option skews confirm real upside demand concentrated in front-end expiries, with flows focused in short-dated crypto options while risk was not repriced across maturities. source: @glassnode tweet https://twitter.com/glassnode/status/2014655280198373525 According to @glassnode, this indicates upside buying pressure in near-term maturities while longer-dated implied volatility and skew remained anchored relative to the front end. source: @glassnode tweet https://twitter.com/glassnode/status/2014655280198373525, source: glassno.de/4pXThWi

According to @glassnode, post-FOMC at-the-money implied volatility has already compressed across 1-week through 6-month maturities, meaning options are pricing smaller expected moves and tighter ranges (source: @glassnode). Per @glassnode, with the policy catalyst now behind, the market is de-pricing uncertainty across the term structure, signaling reduced event risk being priced (source: @glassnode).

According to @glassnode, interpolated implied volatility surfaces across deltas and maturities for BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, and PAXG are now live in Glassnode Studio, expanding the platform’s options market coverage for traders. source: Glassnode The standardized IV surface enables traders to compare skew and term structure across assets and expiries for more consistent relative-value analysis in crypto options. source: Cboe Options Institute These surfaces are commonly used to price and hedge strategies such as calendars, butterflies, and risk reversals across delta buckets. source: Cboe Options Institute Including PAXG adds a gold-linked volatility reference that can inform cross-asset comparisons alongside BTC and ETH when evaluating macro risk in crypto markets. source: CME Group Education
