AI visual note: A Glassnode scatter plot titled "Volatility Has Rarely Been Cheaper, Or This Expensive Against What The Tape Delivers" plots ATM implied volatility (1-week) against realized volatility (1-week), with the dashed 45-degree line representing where "options priced at delivered volatility." The orange data cluster sits well above the line, and a labeled black dot marks the current point at roughly 25% implied volatility versus 15% realized, where "today: both at the floor, the gap near a one-year high"—illustrating how options traders have consistently paid for more volatility than $BTC actually delivered.
