Crypto derivatives exchange Deribit will soon launch (BTC) volatility futures, giving investors a direct way to measure and trade BTC market volatility.

On March 17, Deribit introduced BTC DVOL futures — a derivatives contract built on the Deribit Bitcoin Volatility Index, which measures the implied volatility of the largest cryptocurrency. Deribit’s volatility gauge provides a 30-day outlook on investors’ expectations for annualized volatility.
