Market context

This market settles on Ethereum's noon ET price on 25 May 2026, using the Binance ETH/USDT 1-minute candle close as the sole reference point. The threshold price remains unspecified in the title structure, meaning resolution depends on whether that day's 12:00 ET candle closes above a predetermined level. Settlement occurs at 16:00 UTC the same day, giving a four-hour window for price confirmation and dispute resolution.

The 100% implied probability reflects the market's current assessment that Ethereum will trade above the specified threshold at that exact timestamp. Historical precedent suggests such certainty in long-dated crypto price markets often reflects either an extremely conservative threshold or substantial uncertainty priced into the wider market. Comparable Ethereum price markets from 2024–2025 show that noon ET closures typically exhibit lower volatility than 24-hour ranges, though single-minute candles remain susceptible to flash movements and order-book depth variations on Binance's spot pair.

Traders should monitor regulatory developments affecting Ethereum's trading environment. The German GlüStV (gambling licensing framework) and US CFTC oversight of spot crypto trading have created jurisdictional friction that occasionally impacts exchange liquidity and settlement certainty. For market participants in no-KYC jurisdictions with sub-$1,500 position limits, this market's accessibility depends on whether the specified threshold sits within typical daily trading ranges—a factor that determines whether casual traders can meaningfully participate. Binance's maintenance schedules, scheduled for Tuesdays 04:00–08:00 UTC, could theoretically affect candle data availability, though historical records show noon ET typically falls outside these windows.

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote (Polymarket), four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to PolyGram, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.

FAQ

How does resolution work?

Through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon: a proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and USDC payouts settle automatically once the result is final.

What does it cost to trade on PolyGram?

Zero. PolyGram routes every order to the live Polymarket order book; the only cost is the Polygon network fee, typically under $0.01 per transaction.

How fast are USDC deposits?

Polygon credits deposits after 12 confirmations — usually under 30 seconds. Withdrawals follow the same path and land back in your wallet within minutes.

Do I need to KYC for this market?

Not under $1,500 of lifetime trading volume. Above that threshold, PolyGram triggers a quick verification flow that finishes in minutes.

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
