Market context

This market settles on Ethereum's closing price at noon Eastern Time on 2 June 2026, using the 1-minute candle from Binance's ETH/USDT pair. The resolution hinges on a single data point—the final tick of that specific candle—rather than daily or weekly averages, making execution timing and exchange-specific liquidity the operative factors. Binance's spot market for ETH/USDT remains the most liquid venue for this pair globally, though intraday volatility and regional trading patterns can shift prices materially within minutes.

The 99% crowd probability reflects confidence in Ethereum's sustained valuation above the specified threshold, yet single-minute candle settlements carry execution risk that longer-dated markets typically avoid. Historical precedent from similar Binance-specific micro-timeframe markets shows that flash events—brief liquidity gaps, API delays, or coordinated trading activity—have occasionally produced unexpected closes. Traders should account for the fact that noon ET coincides with US market open, when volatility often peaks and order-book depth can thin unexpectedly.

Regulatory considerations affect market accessibility. The German GlüStV framework classifies prediction markets as gaming products requiring state licensing; UK participants face FCA oversight of derivative contracts. US traders encounter CFTC jurisdiction over synthetic asset contracts, though platforms offering no-KYC access up to $1,500 notional exposure operate in a grey zone. For this market's micro-settlement structure, that $1,500 threshold means casual participants can engage without identity verification, but larger positions trigger standard KYC requirements across most jurisdictions.

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

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
