Bitcoin volatility index hits lowest since 2025, but downside protection remains costly.

Bitcoin's volatility index (BVIV) dropped to 35.59%, the lowest since September 2025, reflecting a collapse in demand for options betting on big price swings. Despite this, put options, which provide downside protection, remain expensive, signaling ongoing concerns about potential price drops. The market is flooded with options supply due to miners and corporates using overwriting strategies, suppressing volatility even as the price holds steady between $62,000 and $66,000. Traders are now focusing on complex strategies around option expiry and downside risk rather than outright bets on volatility, while experts warn that low volatility may create a false sense of security for leveraged investors.
