Bybit & Block Scholes: ETH-BTC volatility hits five-year high as ETH plays catch-up

DUBAI, UAE, June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, released a new options volatility report in collaboration with Block Scholes. The report shows a historic volatility divergence between Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC) during May?2025.

Key Highlights:

  • In May 2025, ETH options exhibited historically high volatility premiums over BTC, driven by ETH’s elevated realized volatility during a major price rally.
  • The ETH-to-BTC implied volatility ratio for short-dated options surged past 2x — reaching a nearly five-year high.
  • BTC’s realized volatility fell below a long-standing 35% floor, breaking a 19-month trend.
  • ETH’s volatility term structure showed persistent inversion, with shorter-dated options pricing higher volatility than longer-dated ones.
  • The implied volatility divergence coincided with ETH’s outperformance, which included a 23% intraday rally amid key market events.

ETH-to-BTC Implied Volatility Expands to Five-Year High

In May 2025, a notable dislocation in implied volatility emerged between ETH and BTC options. Implied volatility reflects market expectations for future price movement over an option’s lifespan. At the start of the month, the ETH-to-BTC implied volatility ratio for 7-day options hovered around 1.5 — indicating that ETH options were priced with 50% higher expected volatility than BTC options.

By May 16, the ratio climbed above 2x, reaching a peak not seen since 2020, as BTC’s implied volatility declined to its lowest levels since October 2023. This drop in BTC volatility broke below the 35% floor that had held for over 19 months, while ETH’s short-tenor implied volatility remained elevated, though slightly below its May 10 high. The volatility spread was particularly pronounced in the 30-day tenor, reaching its widest point since mid-2022.

Realized Volatility Trends Underscore the Divergence

The sharp divergence in implied volatility was reinforced by trends in realized volatility — a measure of actual historical price movement. In May, ETH’s realized volatility significantly outpaced BTC’s across various tenors, fueling expectations for continued dispersion between the two assets.

On May 15, the 7-day realized volatility ratio between ETH and BTC peaked, closely followed by the implied volatility ratio — suggesting market participants expected ETH’s higher volatility to persist. This trend is not new: the ETH-BTC volatility ratio has been climbing steadily since July 2024, amid both bull runs and periods of market stress.

ETH’s standout performance in May was catalyzed by several factors, including positive US-UK trade news. ETH surged more than 23% on May 8 alone and continued to outperform BTC, which gained approximately 10% during the same period. Despite this momentum, ETH remained over 50% below its January 2025 peak and its all-time high.

Klein Funding and Bybit Partner to Launch a New Era of Crypto Prop Trading

LONDON, June 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In 2024, Klein Funding became the first crypto-only prop firm to officially partner with Bybit, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges. Far from a marketing move, this collaboration marked a structural shift in how crypto prop trading is approached: real tools, real markets, and a model centered on trader performance—not platform limitations.


Klein Funding

This wasn’t just a feature update. It redefined expectations across the prop firm landscape.

The partnership introduces something rare in the world of crypto prop firms—a system that gives traders:

  • Access to over 700 crypto pairs
  • Bybit’s institutional-grade liquidity
  • Lightning-fast execution with no lag or syncing issues
  • A clean, stable interface, powered directly by Bybit
  • All within a simulated capital environment

Designed for All Trading Styles

Whether trading breakout setups, scalping altcoin volatility, or managing structured longer-term positions, Klein’s system adapts to how users trade—not the other way around.

A New Model: Instant Pro, Full Access

At the center of this structure is the Instant Pro plan, built around three core freedoms:

  • No Consistency Rule
  • No Daily Drawdown
  • Once reaching 5% profit, traders are eligible for a reward

There are no multi-step evaluations, hidden conditions, or forced holding periods—just performance and direct reward.

What Sets Klein Funding Apart

Many prop firms promise flexibility. Few deliver it from the ground up.

Klein Funding didn’t retrofit flexibility into an outdated model. It built an entirely new structure designed around traders’ needs from day one. With performance-based rewards fully embedded into Bybit’s infrastructure, this isn’t just a trading platform—it’s an operating system for serious traders.

This level of integration doesn’t just improve the interface—it sharpens execution, edge, and the ability to grow.

Looking Ahead

This isn’t another funding plan or promotional push; it’s a complete rethink of the prop firm model—built to eliminate gatekeeping and give traders clarity, access, and control.

No synthetic rules. No drawdown traps.

Just a system built around real traders and real results.
