Ready to sell crypto #options and harvest the “volatility risk premium”? 🧑‍🌾 Develop a yield generating strategy that’s right for you with DeVol Analytics. 👇 analytics.devol.network/ In the Volatility tab, you can plot Realized Volatility (RV) and Implied Volatility (IV) to see the difference between the two over time. 👀 First select #BTC for both Currency 1 & 2. For Volatility 1, select "Implied" with a Moneyness (%) of 100% (meaning the strike is 100% of spot). This is ATM IV. For Volatility 2, select "Realized." You can select Trailing (RV for preceding time window) or Forward (RV over the following time window). Select Forward. For the time to expiration, select a Window size of 7 days for both. The Volatility Pairs chart at the top will show the evolution of ATM IV and RV over time. The Volatility Comparison chart on the bottom plots the difference between the two over time, showing the volatility risk premium (VRP). When the VRP is positive (above the zero line), that’s when juicy profits were collected by selling vol. 🤑 However, you can see the spike in RV in March 2020 was mirrored by a big drop in the VRP. In this instance, a short volatility strategy wipes you out. 😢 On the left, if you click on Distribution instead of Curve, the bottom chart will show a box plot with distributional information. The median VRP is 9.96%, meaning this is the minimum you would expect to receive 50% of the time. Statistically, IV tends to exceed RV, which means harvesting the VRP is a winning strategy over time. If you use trailing volatility (instead of forward) to estimate the VRP, you can also see where you are today (green dot). Here, the VRP looks decently juicy at the third quantile (i.e. higher than 75% of the time). 🤌 Note that these charts are fully customizable. You can plot any pair you like to run all sorts of comparisons. It could be implied volatility for BTC vs. ETH, 80% vs. 120% moneyness, 30 vs. 60 day expirations, etc. The sky’s the limit. 🚀 Our next tweet will show you how to use DeVol Analytics to avoid those big, scary losses that can wipe you out when selling options. How? By focusing on harvesting the VRP at opportune times so that the odds are in your favor. 🎯

When trading spot, liquidity is critical. 🫧 And it's even more important with #options since there are so many different strikes and expirations that can cause liquidity fragmentation. The last thing a crypto options trader wants is liquidity drying up when it's needed most, causing the bid-ask spread to get wider than the Grand Canyon. But it happens all too frequently! 😤 This is a big reason why crypto options trading volume is only about 2% of crypto spot trading volume. Meanwhile, options volume in TradFi is over 100% of spot volume! The opportunity to bridge the gap is huge. 🤯 At DeVol, our mission is to always guarantee a price for liquidity takers at all strikes. 🫡 We did this with a novel AMM that delivers liquidity for a minimum of 95 strikes in a given trading pair and expiration, and gives traders lots of benefits: ⚡️No bid-ask spreads (bye bye market makers, hello liquidity providers!) ⚡️No counterparty trading risk 🛡️ ⚡️Reduced negative selection ⚡️On-chain price discovery ⛓️ ⚡️Deterministic pricing ⚡️Pay less for more legs w/ atomic execution ⚡️10x pre-trade capital efficiency Here's a Medium piece that describes the problem facing crypto options, and how DeVol solves it. 🤌 blog.devol.network/the-untap…
