Interpolation Bias Mitigation

Definition

Interpolation bias mitigation represents the procedural corrective measures applied to synthetic pricing surfaces in cryptocurrency derivatives to account for the discrete nature of available strike prices. Traders utilize these techniques to minimize valuation errors occurring when the underlying asset price falls between reported nodes on an implied volatility skew. By implementing robust spline fitting or kernel-based smoothing methods, market participants ensure that theoretical option premiums remain consistent with observable order book dynamics and risk parity mandates.
