This event group tracks whether Ethereum's price moves up or down at a specific moment on March 1, 2026 at 5 PM ET. Polymarket uses Binance ETH/USDT 1-hour candle open/close comparison, while Kalshi uses CF Benchmarks' Ethereum Real-Time Index (ERTI) with multiple price thresholds. The core question is identical across platforms, but the data sources and resolution mechanics differ significantly.
Polymarket and Kalshi use different price indices (Binance ETH/USDT vs. CF Benchmarks ERTI) and different resolution mechanics (binary candle comparison vs. 40 threshold-based markets), creating potential for conflicting outcomes at the same timestamp.
Hero Tip:
Do not assume these markets will resolve identically. Binance spot price and CF Benchmarks ERTI can diverge. Polymarket is a simple binary (up vs. down), while Kalshi offers 40 granular threshold markets. Choose your platform based on which data source you trust and which resolution granularity matches your trading thesis.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Binary up/down resolution based on Binance ETH/USDT 1-hour candle. Resolves Up if close price >= open price for the 1H candle beginning at March 1, 5 PM ET. Single data source: Binance spot market.
Kalshi: 40 separate Yes/No markets, each tied to a different ERTI price threshold (1049.99 to 2609.99). Each resolves Yes if the 60-second average of CF Benchmarks ERTI before 5 PM EST exceeds its respective threshold. Data source: CF Benchmarks aggregated index.
