Python library for pricing coin-settled crypto options

Project description

Crypto Black-Scholes

Version 0.7.0 — Python library for pricing coin-settled cryptocurrency options with Black-76 and Black-Scholes-style models, Greeks, portfolio aggregation, first-class portfolio reporting, Deribit-oriented helpers, historical volatility estimators, GEX/vol-regime analytics, an implied-volatility surface foundation, and a reusable market-data client.

See CHANGELOG.md for release notes and breaking changes. See docs/README.md for the local documentation index.

Features

  • Pricing — Black-76 (forward / coin premium), enhanced Black-Scholes with USD vs coin-denominated premium
  • Greeks — Delta (USD vs coin premium), gamma, theta, vega, rho; second-order Greeks (speed, charm, vanna, vomma) via finite differences in GreeksCalculator
  • Portfolio — Multi-position Greeks, risk metrics, gamma exposure profile
  • Portfolio reports — Position breakdowns, concentration metrics, stress tests, and scenario-based VaR/CVaR
  • Data — Deribit REST helpers, reusable DeribitClient, normalized chain/surface fetchers, CoinGecko-backed BTC spot and realized-vol helpers
  • IV — Implied vol from market price (Brent’s method), intrinsic and bounds checks
  • Vectorized chain pricingprice_options_vectorized for many strikes / expiries at once
  • Breakeven — USD and coin-settled breakeven helpers
  • Historical volatility — Close-to-close, Parkinson, Rogers-Satchell, Yang-Zhang estimators
  • GEX analytics — Net gamma exposure by strike, cumulative GEX, gamma flip point
  • Volatility regimes — Term-structure and skew regime classifier with simple signal synthesis
  • Volatility surface foundation — Fit/interpolate IV over strike and maturity

Model overview

  1. Black-76 (module-level price_option) — Forward F, undiscounted coin premium; suited to Deribit-style quoting.
  2. BlackScholesModel — Spot-based Merton BS; is_coin_based=True for premium as fraction of spot; exposes delta_usd (hedge delta) and delta_coin (premium sensitivity to spot).
  3. Portfolio — Aggregations use USD delta per position for total_delta and dollar exposures.

Installation

pip install -U crypto-bs

Import as:

import crypto_bs

Requires Python ≥3.10, numpy, scipy, pandas, requests (see pyproject.toml).

Documentation

Upgrading from 0.1.x

  • Replace result.delta with result.delta_usd (hedging / notional delta) and/or result.delta_coin (academic / premium-in-coin sensitivity).
  • Dicts from price_coin_based_option / validate_deribit_pricing: use delta_usd / delta_coin instead of delta.
  • get_btc_volatility() now computes realized volatility from CoinGecko daily closes; for exchange-specific studies, prefer feeding your own OHLC data into crypto_bs.historical_vol.
  • Optional: add pytest to your environment for the test suite (pip install pytest).

Quick start

from crypto_bs import price_option, delta, gamma, price_options_vectorized
import numpy as np

# Black-76 coin premium
price = price_option(F=110000, K=105000, T=1/365, sigma=0.6, option_type='call')
print(f"Premium (coin): {price:.6f}")

d = delta(110000, 105000, 1/365, 0.6, 'call')
g = gamma(110000, 105000, 1/365, 0.6)

# Whole chain in one call
K = np.array([100000.0, 105000.0, 110000.0])
T = np.full(3, 1 / 365)
sig = np.full(3, 0.6)
types = np.array(["call", "call", "put"])
premiums = price_options_vectorized(110000, K, T, sig, types)

Breakeven

from crypto_bs import breakeven_price, breakeven_price_coin_based

be_usd = breakeven_price(105000, 500, 'call')
be_coin = breakeven_price_coin_based(105000, price, 'call')

Advanced usage

Coin-based BlackScholesModel

from crypto_bs import BlackScholesModel, OptionParameters, OptionType

bs_model = BlackScholesModel()
params = OptionParameters(
    spot_price=110000,
    strike_price=105000,
    time_to_maturity=1/365,
    volatility=0.6,
    option_type=OptionType.CALL,
    is_coin_based=True,
)

result = bs_model.calculate_option_price(params)
print(f"Coin premium: {result.coin_based_price:.6f}")
print(f"USD equivalent: ${result.usd_price:.2f}")
print(f"Delta USD (hedge): {result.delta_usd:.6f}")
print(f"Delta coin premium: {result.delta_coin:.9f}")

Portfolio risk

from crypto_bs import PortfolioAnalyzer, analyze_portfolio_risk

portfolio = [
    {
        "quantity": 10,
        "spot_price": 110000,
        "strike_price": 105000,
        "time_to_maturity": 1/365,
        "volatility": 0.6,
        "option_type": "call",
        "underlying": "BTC",
        "is_coin_based": True,
    }
]

risk = analyze_portfolio_risk(portfolio)
report = PortfolioAnalyzer().build_report(portfolio)
print("Portfolio delta (USD):", risk["portfolio_summary"]["total_delta"])
print("Gamma exposure:", risk["risk_metrics"]["gamma_exposure"])
print("One-day VaR:", report.risk_distribution.value_at_risk)

Market data helpers

from crypto_bs import (
    DeribitClient,
    get_btc_forward_price,
    get_option_data,
    validate_deribit_pricing,
)

F = get_btc_forward_price()
option_data = get_option_data("BTC-3SEP25-105000-C")
client = DeribitClient()
chain = client.get_full_chain(min_open_interest=100)
surface_input = client.get_iv_surface_data(min_open_interest=100)

validation = validate_deribit_pricing(
    deribit_price_btc=option_data["mark_price"],
    spot=F,
    strike=105000,
    time_to_maturity=1/365,
    option_type="call",
)
print("IV:", validation["implied_volatility"])
print("Delta USD:", validation["delta_usd"])
print("Chain rows:", len(chain))
print("Surface rows:", len(surface_input))

Requests use a 10-second timeout; the client adds retries, short-lived caching, and lightweight pacing for repeated Deribit calls. Failures surface as requests exceptions or ValueError from the helpers.

Historical volatility

import pandas as pd
from crypto_bs import close_to_close_hv, get_btc_volatility, parkinson_hv, yang_zhang_hv

# Example OHLC arrays as pandas Series
close = pd.Series([100, 102, 101, 104, 103, 106, 108])
high = close * 1.01
low = close * 0.99
open_ = close.shift(1).fillna(close.iloc[0])

hv_cc = close_to_close_hv(close, window=5)
hv_parkinson = parkinson_hv(high, low, window=5)
hv_yz = yang_zhang_hv(open_, high, low, close, window=5)
btc_hv = get_btc_volatility(days=120, window=30)

GEX and volatility analytics

import pandas as pd
from crypto_bs import compute_gex, gex_summary, VolatilityAnalytics

chain = pd.DataFrame({
    "strike": [90000, 100000, 110000, 90000, 100000, 110000],
    "time_to_maturity": [30/365] * 6,
    "volatility": [0.7] * 6,
    "option_type": ["call", "call", "call", "put", "put", "put"],
    "open_interest": [1200, 1800, 900, 1400, 2000, 1300],
})
gex_df = compute_gex(chain, spot=100000)
print(gex_summary(gex_df, spot=100000))

term = pd.Series([0.85, 0.72, 0.65], index=[7/365, 30/365, 90/365])
skew = pd.Series([0.04, 0.035, 0.03], index=[7/365, 30/365, 90/365])
va = VolatilityAnalytics(atm_term_structure=term, skew_by_maturity=skew)
print(va.ts_regime(), va.skew_regime(), va.trading_signal())

Volatility surface

import pandas as pd
from crypto_bs import VolatilitySurface

chain = pd.DataFrame({
    "strike": [90000, 100000, 110000, 90000, 100000, 110000],
    "time_to_maturity": [30/365, 30/365, 30/365, 90/365, 90/365, 90/365],
    "implied_volatility": [0.74, 0.70, 0.73, 0.66, 0.62, 0.65],
})
surface = VolatilitySurface()
surface.fit(chain)
print(surface.get_iv(105000, 60/365))
print(surface.get_term_structure())

Validation (example)

Using real Deribit-style numbers, model vs mark can be on the order of ~1% in BTC premium depending on mark, forward, and IV; use validate_deribit_pricing and live get_option_data for your own checks.

Testing

# From repo root (recommended)
pytest tests/ -v

# With conda
conda activate crypto-option
cd /path/to/crypto_bs_project
PYTHONPATH=. pytest tests/ -v

# Wrapper script
python run_tests.py

The suite includes 45 tests (pricing, Greeks, IV, historical vol, GEX, surface/data checks, and portfolio reporting). Install pytest if it is not already in the environment.
