This market tracks whether Bitcoin's price will surpass $54,999.99 by 5pm EDT on August 21, 2026, according to data from Kalshi. The current probability of the leading outcome stands at 99.0%, with settlement based on the CF Benchmarks' Bitcoin Real-Time Index. Watch the price action in the final trading window leading up to the 5pm EDT deadline on August 21, 2026, as this will determine the market's resolution.
All markets resolve based on the simple average of the sixty seconds of CF Benchmarks' Bitcoin Real-Time Index (BRTI) immediately before 5 PM EDT on August 21, 2026. For each market, if this average exceeds the specified threshold (e.g., $50,000, $55,000, etc.), the market resolves to 'Yes'; otherwise, it resolves to 'No'. The official price is determined by collecting 60 BRTI prices during the final minute before expiration and averaging them. This methodology ensures consistency across all markets, with each threshold representing a distinct price level that Bitcoin must surpass for a positive resolution.
Compared to traditional spot price forecasts, prediction market odds offer a forward-looking perspective shaped by trader sentiment and market dynamics. While analysts may focus on fundamentals or technical indicators, this market incorporates a broader range of influences, including macroeconomic trends and investor behavior. The resulting odds often diverge from short-term price action, providing a unique view of anticipated value at Aug 21, 2026.
This market resolves around Aug 21, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. At that point, the actual Bitcoin price at the specified time will be compared against the market’s predictions, closing all open positions based on the confirmed result.
Several signals could shift this market before resolution, including major economic announcements, regulatory developments affecting cryptocurrencies, or unexpected technological breakthroughs within the Bitcoin network. Institutional trades, geopolitical tensions, and shifts in investor sentiment may also cause volatility. Any event that influences Bitcoin’s perceived value or macro conditions can reshape trader expectations and move odds meaningfully as Aug 21, 2026 approaches.
