  At BYDFi, we recommend using a combination of hedging strategies to mitigate the effects of IV crush. This can include using options spreads, such as vertical spreads or iron condors, to limit potential losses during IV crush events. Additionally, implementing stop-loss orders can help minimize losses if IV crush occurs.

  If you're not familiar with options trading or don't have the time to actively manage your positions, another strategy is to consider investing in cryptocurrency index funds or ETFs. These funds provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies and can help mitigate the impact of IV crush on individual options.

  One way to mitigate the effects of IV crush is to focus on selling options rather than buying them. By selling options, you can take advantage of the decrease in IV and collect premium, which can help offset any potential losses from IV crush.
