Odaily Planet Daily reports: The Cboe Options Exchange plans to launch the Cboe IBIT Volatility Index (BITVX) on March 23. This index will apply Cboe’s VIX methodology to the bitcoin market, further expanding the company’s volatility index product line. BITVX is designed to measure the market’s expected volatility for bitcoin over the next 30 days, using options pricing data from the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT), managed by BlackRock. The index is calculated and maintained by Cboe Global Indices, employing the same methodology as the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX)—deriving implied volatility from options prices rather than relying on historical returns.
