According to CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency options exchange Deribit will launch a bitcoin volatility futures product, aiming to provide a simpler way than options to help investors hedge against market volatility. Deribit Chief Commercial Officer Luuk Strijers said the product will launch at the end of March and will be based on Bitcoin’s 30-day implied volatility calculated from Deribit’s options order book provided by DVOL. Deribit initially only offers futures with a 1-month expiry, and plans to expand to 5 months in the future.
