XRP Options Skew Reaches 95th Percentile as Derivatives Traders Favor Calls
Short-term XRP options pricing has shifted sharply toward upside exposure, with the one-week skew climbing to 9.3 volatility points following an 18% spot price rebound.
Pricing in the XRP options market has tilted toward bullish exposure following an 18% spot price gain over the past week. Data from Coinbase Markets shows that the one-week 25-delta call-minus-put skew rose to 9.3 volatility points, placing the reading in the 95th percentile and reflecting elevated demand for upside call options over downside put protection.
The current positioning represents a significant shift from late 2025 and early 2026, when the one-week skew regularly fell below minus 10 points. The turnaround coincided with XRP's spot recovery toward $1.55 from recent lows near $1.39, following a brief spike above 15 volatility points recorded in late August.
Beyond derivatives markets, network infrastructure developments also advanced, with the XRP Ledger Batch V1.1 amendment securing support from 30 of 35 tracked validators. The update is designed to group related transactions to enable collective settlement or failure.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
