Volatility Premium · BTC

As of 26 Aug 2026 · Explainable knowledge object · Not a trading signal

BTC options are currently priced normal. Implied (DVOL) 43.19% vs. realized-30d 34.83% → variance risk premium +8.36pp (18.39th percentile, IV-rank 19.22/100). TRAILING comparison: today's implied against the movement realized over the PRECEDING 30 days — 'are options expensive right now?', not 'did the expectation come true?' (that is the separate forward premium, vol_risk_premium_forward_30d). Historically the VRP was positive on 95.19% of days (median +15.64pp) — options normally charged more than recent movement delivered. Within the normal range. Descriptive, not a trading signal.
