Bitcoin’s USD price at the settlement cut-off is the reference point here, with the market resolving off a specific print within the stated window ending at 04:00 UTC on 20 May. On Polymarket, the quoted probabilities are formed from the live order book, so the implied odds reflect where buyers and sellers are currently clearing rather than a survey or forecast model.
A 0% YES price suggests traders see the relevant threshold as effectively out of reach under the market’s rules, which usually happens when the spot price is already far from the strike ladder or when the remaining time is too short for a meaningful move. Comparable Bitcoin expiry and day-specific price markets tend to reprice sharply only around large spot moves, especially when the market is testing a nearby round number or when volatility spikes into the close.
For catalysts, watch for any move in the underlying spot market, derivatives-driven squeezes, and macro releases that can shift risk appetite during US trading hours. Recent third-party forecasts remain mixed, with Changelly and Binance both pointing to a broad mid-to-high $70,000 area in late May, but those are not market prices and should be treated as context only. More important for resolution is the timing of any ETF flow data, exchange liquidity changes, and headlines that affect Bitcoin’s direction before the settlement window closes.
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.
For this market, the resolution date is 20 May 2026. A UMA proposer can submit the outcome from that moment; the two-hour dispute window closes at , and assuming no counter-claim is staked, winning USDC clears to trader balances by approximately .
If a dispute is filed inside the two-hour window, the outcome escalates to UMA token-holder voting, which extends settlement by roughly 48 hours. This particular market has no public resolution feed listed; disputes here are more likely if the underlying outcome is subject to interpretation, in which case the UMA token-vote arbitrates the wording of the original market question.
Crypto-price markets resolve from on-chain exchange data, so the proposer submits within minutes of the cutoff; over 90% of crypto markets clear within three hours of the resolution timestamp. Funds clear directly to your in-app USDC balance on Polygon. Withdrawals are non-custodial: send to any address you control, typical confirmation under 30 seconds, gas paid in USDC if you'd rather not hold MATIC.
Minimum order size on PolyGram is $1.00, with no maximum cap aside from available book depth.

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.

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. For "What price will Bitcoin hit on May 19?", the considerations above apply directly — Crypto-price contracts inherit the volatility of the underlying asset. The market price will track spot tightly until a few hours before resolution, at which point the binary nature of the payoff creates non-linear gamma — small moves in spot can drive large moves in the contract.
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.
