In the cryptocurrency options market, Bitcoin and Ethereum actually follow two different paths.

According to our latest analyst report, there are obvious differences in how well they fit with various options strategies. Especially when using volatility cones as benchmarks, you'll notice some interesting details—Bitcoin's volatility characteristics are more suitable for certain structured plays, while Ethereum has advantages in another dimension.

A deeper comparison of the volatility performance and the changes in options Greeks for these two mainstream assets may reveal trading opportunities that were previously overlooked. It might be helpful to pull up historical data and revisit the cone charts; you may discover new perspectives.

BTC-0.75%

ETH-1.28%

Hmm... The volatility cone is back again, feels like it's always the same routine every time.

Volatility cones sound nice, but in practice, you need to be careful—beautiful historical data doesn't guarantee the future will repeat itself. Many people have suffered losses because of this. BTC and ETH are indeed different, but more importantly, whether your risk management is in place matters. Otherwise, even the best strategy framework is just a decoration.

The volatility cone has been used for a long time, but to be honest, the structured play in BTC is indeed more straightforward than ETH, mainly due to the difference in scale.

The volatility cone, to be honest, has been somewhat overhyped. It seems like many people are using it but haven't really made money from it.

The volatility cone strategy definitely has its nuances, but it seems most people are still betting on the direction, regardless of Greeks...

I've long figured out the tricks of this volatility cone. BTC and ETH are indeed in different channels, but the key is having the capital to play...

I've had my eye on the volatility cone for a while, but it seems most people are still just letting it gather dust... BTC and ETH are truly two different worlds, and the differences in the Greeks are quite striking.

The volatility cone sounds fancy, but in reality, it's all about who can react to the market faster. BTC is stable, but I feel the Gamma risk for ETH in this wave has been underestimated personally.

Everyone's right, but I still trust my own candlestick charts more. The volatility cone sounds professional, but in practice... well, I still lose money when I lose money. It feels like this wave of ETH is just following BTC; truly independent markets are becoming fewer and fewer. What's the use of pulling historical data? The current market logic has changed, and the previous strategies have already been cracked by arbitrage bots. The规律 of Greeks? I only know that my position规律 is declining regularly haha. I've read too many of these research reports, but in the end, it's still about luck and timing. Do you have any real trading ideas with actual money?

Volatility cones have been talked about for so many years, but some people still don't understand what they mean... BTC and ETH have different strategies, but the key is whether you have the money to hit that point.
