Kalshi
This market tracks whether the simple average of sixty seconds of the CF Benchmarks' Bitcoin Real-Time Index (BRTI) will be above $67499.99 at 5:00 PM EDT on September 18, 2026. Currently, the probability of this outcome occurring on Kalshi is 99.0%. The resolution source for this market is CF Benchmarks' Bitcoin Real-Time Index (BRTI). Traders should closely watch the price of Bitcoin leading up to September 18, 2026, as the market will resolve based on the index value recorded right before 5:00 PM EDT on that date.
All markets share a unified resolution framework centered on the Bitcoin Real-Time Index (BRTI) published by CF Benchmarks. For each market, the resolution hinges on whether the simple average of the sixty-second readings of the BRTI immediately preceding 5 PM EDT on September 18, 2026, surpasses a specified threshold. The exact threshold varies per market, incrementing in $500 or $1,000 steps from $64,500 up to $89,000. Crucially, the price data source is exclusively the CF Benchmarks' BRTI—external sources such as Google or Coinbase are advisory only. At expiration, sixty consecutive BRTI prices are captured within the final minute before 5 PM EDT, and their arithmetic mean constitutes the official closing value. If this mean exceeds the market’s defined threshold, the market resolves to 'Yes'; otherwise, it resolves to 'No.' All markets adhere strictly to this methodology, ensuring consistency across differing price targets.
Currently, prediction market odds offer a unique perspective compared to traditional spot price expectations. While spot markets reflect immediate supply and demand, this market aggregates the informed beliefs of forecasters looking further ahead. Polls of financial analysts often provide price targets, but they may not fully capture the range of potential outcomes or the probabilities associated with each. This market provides a probabilistic forecast, showing not just *if* the price might reach a certain level, but *how likely* it is, according to the wisdom of the crowd.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction. Traders buy and sell contracts representing different price ranges for Bitcoin. The price of each contract reflects the market’s assessment of the probability that the actual BTC price will fall within that range at the specified time. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. As more traders participate and new information becomes available, the prices adjust, creating a dynamic forecast. The market efficiently incorporates diverse perspectives and expertise, resulting in a forward-looking price discovery mechanism.
This market resolves around Sep 18, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The settlement will be based on the price of Bitcoin, as recorded by a widely recognized and trusted source, at 5:00 PM EDT on September 18, 2026. The specific price used for resolution will be determined by Kalshi’s standard procedures for verifying external data, ensuring a transparent and reliable outcome for all participants in this market.
Numerous signals and events could significantly influence this market. Major macroeconomic developments, such as changes in interest rates or inflation, could impact investor sentiment towards Bitcoin. Regulatory announcements from governments worldwide, particularly regarding cryptocurrency taxation or usage, are also key catalysts. Technological advancements or security breaches affecting the Bitcoin network itself could cause substantial price swings. Finally, broader market trends in the technology sector and overall risk appetite could also play a role in shifting expectations within this market.
