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 during the 1-hour candle ending 2 PM Eastern Time on 8 May 2026. The current order book on Polymarket shows traders pricing this outcome at 100% implied probability, reflecting confidence that Ethereum will trade above the specified threshold at that precise moment.
Historical precedent suggests that one-hour candle closures for major trading pairs exhibit considerable volatility, particularly around US market hours. Ethereum's intraday price action typically ranges 2–5% within a single trading session, depending on broader crypto market conditions and macroeconomic sentiment. The 100% probability reading here likely indicates either that the threshold is set substantially below current spot prices, or that traders perceive minimal downside risk within the settlement window. Comparable short-dated Ethereum price markets on Polymarket have occasionally shown similar certainty when the strike price sits well within historical trading ranges.
Traders should monitor developments in the broader cryptocurrency market during late April and early May 2026, including any regulatory announcements from the SEC or CFTC that could affect institutional flows into Ethereum. Bitcoin's price action will remain a primary driver of Ethereum's directional bias. Additionally, any material smart contract exploits, network upgrades, or macroeconomic shocks—such as unexpected Federal Reserve policy shifts—could trigger sharp intraday moves. The settlement window's proximity to US market open (2 PM ET) means European market momentum and overnight Asian trading will influence the final candle close.
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 8, 2PM 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.
$6K 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 8 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.
