Fréchet Distribution

Distribution

This is one of the three possible extreme value distributions resulting from the Fisher-Tippett-Gnedenko Theorem, characterized by a heavy, or fat, right tail. Such a characteristic implies that extreme positive deviations in asset returns or volatility are more probable than predicted by lighter-tailed models like the normal distribution. Utilizing this distribution in option pricing models acknowledges the potential for massive upward price spikes in crypto assets.
