The Crypto Volatility Index project, an open-source decentralized finance protocol backed by COTI, is welcoming professor Dan Galai, the co-creator of the VIX, into its board of advisors. Prof. Galai will assist the CVI team in establishing the protocol as the market standard for a crypto analog of the VIX.
The CBOE Market Volatility Index, commonly known by its ticker VIX and often referred to as the “Fear Index”, is a financial instrument tracking the real-time implied volatility of 30-day S&P 500 options. It was initially designed by Dan Galai and Menachem Brenner in a series of papers published after 1989, where they envisioned the creation of a series of volatility indices for different asset classes, including stock markets but also interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The concept was later implemented by the Chicago Board Options Exchange in 1993.
