Market context

This market resolves based on Ethereum's closing price on the Binance ETH/USDT pair at the 12:00 noon Eastern Time candle on 18 June 2026. The settlement window closes at 16:00 ET that same day, allowing a four-hour window after the resolution candle closes for any final price verification before the market locks.

The 0% crowd probability reflects the speculative nature of pricing Ethereum nearly two years forward. Historical volatility in crypto markets shows that single-candle price targets at specific exchanges can be difficult to predict with precision, particularly when settlement dates extend far into the future. Comparable multi-strike markets on major cryptocurrencies typically see probability distributions skewed toward mid-range strikes, with extreme price levels receiving minimal backing regardless of fundamental outlook. The absence of trading activity on this particular strike suggests either that the price threshold is viewed as implausible relative to consensus expectations, or that traders have not yet engaged with this specific contract.

Key variables affecting resolution include macroeconomic conditions influencing risk appetite in crypto markets, regulatory developments affecting Ethereum's trading environment, and technical factors specific to Binance's order flow and liquidity on the ETH/USDT pair. Traders should monitor announcements regarding Ethereum protocol upgrades, changes to staking mechanisms, or shifts in institutional adoption patterns. Binance's operational status and any exchange-level technical issues during the resolution window could also affect price discovery on the specified candle, though such disruptions remain rare for major trading pairs.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
