The Bitcoin Volatility Index has continued to rise to 69.71 in the past month, with a monthly increase of 18.29%

The BitVol (Bitcoin volatility) index launched by financial index company T3 Index in collaboration with Bitcoin options trading platform LedgerX has risen to 69.71, continuing to rise for the past month with a 30-day increase of 18.29%.

BlockBeats note: The BitVol index measures the 30-day expected implied volatility derived from tradable Bitcoin options prices. Implied volatility refers to the volatility implied by actual option prices. It is the volatility derived by using the B-S option pricing formula and inputting the actual option price and other parameters except for the volatility σ into the formula.

The actual price of the option is formed by the competition of numerous option traders, therefore, implied volatility represents the market participants' views and expectations of the future market, thus being regarded as the closest to the real volatility at that time.
