If any or all of these developments continue, there will likely be sweeping consequences for the crypto market. Firstly, if investors are more appetitive about risk, this will spill over to cryptocurrencies and gold. In the case of Bitcoin, this may continue to rise because call options are showing strong demand—again signalling investors’ optimism.
The US election is another critical stock market volatility driver. Bitcoin’s skewness data shows there has been more significant activity in put options as one approaches the election, meaning that investors have become more cautious. The difference in volatility in options that expire before and after the election is 6% points. The Democratic Party’s platform lacks support for cryptocurrencies, in contrast to the Republican Party’s promise to eliminate suppression of “illegal and non-US cryptocurrencies.”
