CryptoCompare and the University of Sussex Business School today announced the launch of the Bitcoin Volatility Index (BVIX). A first of its kind for digital assets, the index measures the implied volatility of bitcoin - the view on volatility over the next 30 days held by sophisticated bitcoin option traders - which is the standard gauge of market sentiment.

In an effort to promote greater decentralization of its network, the Cardano team announced that it was lowering rewards for the top 100 stake pools. Data from Flipside Crypto suggests this has caused Cardano holders to sell their holdings.

CryptoCompare Launches the Bitcoin Volatility Index (BVIX) developed in partnership with the University of Sussex Business School

CryptoCompare and the University of Sussex Business School today announced the launch of the Bitcoin Volatility Index (BVIX). A first of its kind for digital assets, the index measures the implied volatility of bitcoin - the view on volatility over the next 30 days held by sophisticated bitcoin option traders - which is the standard gauge of market sentiment.

Other VIX indices are used for settlement prices of volatility futures contracts in traditional markets and have paved the way to the creation of a diverse set of leveraged, direct and inverse volatility ETFs and other exchange-traded products.

BVIX is derived from the volatility implied from market prices of bitcoin options. The index represents a valuable tool for institutional investors to price bitcoin volatility risk, and hedge and trade on bitcoin volatility. CryptoCompare uses proprietary methods to live stream the BVIX following the research design of leading industry expert Prof. Carol Alexander and her team at the University of Sussex Business School.

We have created the Bitcoin Volatility Index (BVIX) so that investors can use a reliable and transparent barometer to monitor and eventually hedge against bitcoin volatility, said Quynh Tran-Thanh, Head of Indices and Investable Instruments of CryptoCompare.
