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

Deribit’s volatility gauge provides a 30-day outlook on investors’ expectations for annualized volatility. Like other volatility products, BTC DVOL can potentially help traders with risk management, portfolio hedging or market speculation.
