3 prediction markets price this story:

• Ethereum all time high by September 30, 2026? — resolved “No” on 1 Oct 2026. The outcome is Yes if a one-minute candle for ETH/USDT on Binance reaches a new all-time high between December 16, 2025, and September 30, 2026. The market resolves to No if no such price peak occurs within that specific timeframe. Readers often mistake the source of truth, but only Binance data counts, not prices from other exchanges or spot markets.
• Ethereum (ETH) — the market puts it at 33%, with $22 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Ethereum's price increases at any point during 2026. It resolves to No if the price does not rise within that year. Readers often mistake the linked story about Vitalik Buterin as a factor, but only the actual price return in 2026 matters.
• Will Ethereum reach $3,200 September 28-October 4? — resolved “No” on 5 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the highest price on Binance's ETH/USDT 1-minute chart reaches $3,200 between September 28 at 12:00 AM ET and October 4 at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the source of truth, assuming prices from other exchanges or different trading pairs count toward the resolution.
