The cryptocurrency options trading platform Deribit will launch DVOL-linked futures products at the end of March

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the crypto options trading platform Deribit will launch futures products linked to Deribit's Bitcoin Volatility Index (DVOL) at the end of March, aiming to provide digital asset investors with a simpler way to hedge against market volatility than options.

It is reported that DVOL was launched in early 2021 and calculates Bitcoin's 30-day implied volatility using Deribit's options order book. Deribit initially offered futures with a 1-month expiration, with plans to expand to 5 months in the future. (source link)
