The IV surface that powers the majority of on-chain options trading volume globally, and the same surface @BlockScholes ships to the Bloomberg Terminal, is the surface Kyan uses to mark every option in its listed universe. Read more on how that flows through the pricing engine:

Kyan lets the perp leg ride inside the same atomic combo as the options, one Fill-or-Kill order. Example: A delta hedged straddle opens neutral by construction without chasing a second fill or a half-filled naked leg.
Combo Trades on Kyan allow you to open complex multi-leg positions with greater capital efficiency and flexibility. Read about the Strategy Builder & Combo Trade system in detail on our blog - blog.kyan.blue/p/what-are-co… Or listen to us talk about it

BTC options chain on Kyan for the June 26 expiry, 10 days out, with spot just under $65,751. The ATM straddle (65K call mark $1,837 + 65K put mark $1,054) prices around $2,891, which is roughly the move the market is paying to be exposed to through expiry.

The 25-delta BTC put in MA #69 worked because direction, vol, and convexity were one trade in the last regime, stacked onto a single cheap line because the down move and the vol spike printed together when compression broke. Crypto sold off 18%, and the trade hit 6.4x.
The 25-delta BTC put flagged in MA #69 has gone 6.4x as 1W ATM vol blew out from 30% to 50%+ over two weeks. Monday Alpha #70 covers the four catalysts that converged and what to roll into now. Here's a summary:

Thank you to @ZoomerOracle and the @epochbiz team for putting this together 💙 The report breaks down how Kyan handles portfolio margin, multi-leg execution with perp hedges, and the cost structure.
1/ Just like how we dived into the Perp Dex landscape, we decided to dive into Options: in particular @KyanExchange it offers 1. No fees 2. Full portfolio margin 3. Combo trades up to 7 legs with perps 4. Custody of assets and more If you are looking to get into options, feel free to check out the @epochbiz report below to learn more about the unique features on kyan.blue/

A perp long that got liquidated last week lost 100% of its margin. Not because the thesis was wrong, but because the wick touched the liq price. Now price the mirror: BTC sits at $63.7K. A 30-day $60K/$55K put spread costs about $1,000 to put on. That $1,000 is your max loss. If BTC closes at $55K or below, it pays $5K, so you net roughly $4K. The same wick that zeroed the long was a clean, pre-sized payoff for whoever owned the downside.

Marty's closing line in Monday Alpha #69 two weeks ago: "Vol is meant to be sold, until it is not. We are entering weird territory that could introduce a vol spike and knock out all these sellers." BTC was still at $77K, and vol surface had just compressed 21 vols in 3 months.

Being directionally right on BTC and losing money on a naked call is what pushes most traders into spreads, where you pay less premium for capped upside. What strikes would you pick for a spread with spot near 61k? Full walkthrough on the Kyan blog: blog.kyan.blue/p/call-spread…

On-chain perps moved $X trillion last year Options are trading about 1% of that, which most of the timeline takes as evidence that options are a small cousin to perps. The same ratio used to describe perps versus spot back in 2017, and that framing didn't age well.
