The implied volatility for short-dated XRP options surged by up to 18 points at the 3-day tenor, indicating traders expect significant price movement soon. This shift reflects institutional market makers adjusting their positions and hedging risks amid growing uncertainty, with increased demand for put options signaling concern over potential downside. The volatility spike suggests the market is catching up to recent price realities, making short-term options riskier and more expensive for buyers and sellers alike. This dynamic is driven more by hedging needs than by new external news.
