In Financial Derivatives, How Is the Volatility of a PoW-based Asset Potentially Different from a PoS Asset?

PoW assets have an energy-intensive production cost that can act as a natural price floor, which might stabilize volatility during extreme downturns. PoS assets, however, have a more elastic supply and their security is tied to the market value of the staked coin, which could amplify volatility during a crisis.

The issuance model (inflation/deflation) also differs, impacting supply-side volatility.
