Market context

This market settles on Ethereum's closing price at noon Eastern Time on 18 June 2026, using the Binance ETH/USDT one-minute candle as the sole reference. The settlement window closes at 16:00 UTC that day, allowing a four-hour window after the noon ET snapshot for resolution confirmation. Binance's spot market data serves as the authoritative source; prices on other exchanges or trading pairs are irrelevant to settlement.

The 0% crowd probability reflects the market's multi-strike structure, where individual price thresholds carry vanishingly small odds when distributed across a wide range of possible outcomes. Historical precedent from similar Ethereum price-point markets shows that extreme probabilities often cluster at the tails of distributions; mid-range strikes typically command 2–8% implied probability, whilst strikes far above or below recent trading ranges settle near zero. The current Ethereum spot price and volatility regime will determine which strike levels attract meaningful trading activity as the settlement date approaches.

Traders monitoring this market should track Ethereum's macroeconomic catalysts through mid-2026, including potential US regulatory clarity on spot ETH products, European regulatory developments under the German GlüStV framework, and CFTC enforcement actions that may affect institutional participation. Binance's operational status and any changes to its ETH/USDT pair specifications carry direct settlement risk. The no-KYC threshold of $1,500 USD per transaction on certain platforms does not apply to Binance's regulated spot market, where full identity verification remains standard; this market's accessibility depends on individual jurisdictional compliance rather than exchange-level KYC exemptions.

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.

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.
