Perp futures on 'bitcoin VIX' BVIV debut on Hyperliquid

  • BVIV tracks bitcoin's expected 30-day implied volatility in real time
  • Contracts are USDC-collateralized with up to 5x leverage at launch
  • Listing was led by Markets by Kinetiq with Volmex and Perps.inc
  • Seda's oracle infrastructure connects the Volmex index to Markets onchain
Why it matters: It marks the first onchain perpetual market for bitcoin volatility, giving traders a direct hedging and speculation tool without capital-intensive options.
