Elevated Ether Volatility Expectations May Be Unfounded
Spot ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are expected to begin trading in the U.S. this year.

The spread between the forward-looking, 30-day implied volatility indexes for ether (ETH DVOL) and bitcoin (BTC DVOL) flipped positive in April on dominant crypto options exchange Deribit. Since then, it has risen to 17%, according to data tracked by Amberdata. Implied volatility estimates the degree of future price swings based on options prices.
