BitVol, A “VIX-Like” Volatility Index for Bitcoin, Makes Its First Trade

The first-ever over-the-counter (OTC) trade of BitVol, the options-fuelled volatility index for bitcoin developed by T3 Index, the creators of the SPIKES index, was executed Wednesday by LedgerPrime, a quantitative digital asset investment firm owned by Ledger Holdings (the parent company of LedgerX). The counterparty for the trade was a cryptocurrency asset manager that was not named. (Originally published at John Lothian News on 3/10/2021.)
