Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Yes" if the "Close" price for the ETH/USDT 1 hour candle that ends on the time and date specified in the title is higher than the price specified in the title. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The resolution source for this market is Binance, specifically the ETH/USDT "Close" prices currently available at https://www.binance.com/en/trade/ETH_USDT with "1h" and "Candles" selected on the top bar. Please note that this market is about the price according to Binance ETH/USDT, not according to other exchanges or trading pairs. Price precision is determined by the number of decimal places in the source.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.

This market settles on the closing price of the ETH/USDT pair on Binance's 1-hour candle ending 5 May 2026 at 11PM ET. The 100% implied probability reflects either a strike price substantially below current Ethereum spot levels or a market structure where traders perceive negligible downside risk over the settlement window. On Polymarket's order book, this probability has formed through minimal trading friction at the extremes, suggesting either consensus pricing or limited liquidity challenging the consensus view.
Historical precedent shows that one-hour candle closures on major exchanges rarely move more than 3–5% intraday absent significant volatility events. Ethereum's realised volatility over trailing 30-day periods has typically ranged 25–45% annualised, translating to roughly 0.5–1.5% hourly standard deviation. A 100% probability implies the strike sits well within normal intraday trading ranges, consistent with how prediction markets price near-certain outcomes when the underlying threshold is set conservatively relative to spot.
Traders should monitor scheduled events in the week preceding settlement: Federal Reserve communications, major cryptocurrency exchange announcements, or significant smart contract protocol upgrades could trigger volatility. Binance's operational status and any trading halts would directly affect candle closure mechanics. The settlement window closes 6 May at 3AM UTC, leaving minimal buffer after the 5 May 11PM ET close, so data availability and exchange reporting accuracy become material considerations for dispute resolution.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
The mechanics for trading "Ethereum above ___ on May 5, 11PM ET?" are the same as any other PolyGram event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.
$3K in lifetime turnover and $0 of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for ethereum contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a 2-hour dispute window opens, and if uncontested the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token holders.
This prediction market is scheduled to close on 6 May 2026. After the resolving event occurs, settlement typically clears within 24 hours once the UMA optimistic oracle confirms the outcome. All payouts are in USDC on the Polygon network.

Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.
Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
