Contract Snapshot
A YES resolution occurs if the official and final value of Bitcoin, determined by averaging 60 CF Benchmarks Real Time Index (RTI) prices collected during the last minute of the market, is greater than or equal to the target price of $77,326.88. Conversely, a NO resolution is triggered if this averaged value is less than $77,326.88. The market is active from August 28, 6:00 PM to 6:15 PM EDT, with the crucial settlement period being the final minute (6:14 PM – 6:15 PM EDT) when the 60 RTI prices are sampled to calculate the official closing value.
Market Discussion
While the specific figure $77,326.88 is not a widely recognized market prediction target, appearing instead in unrelated datasets, Bitcoin's price action on August 28, 2026, saw it close at $77,420.74, just above the target, with the CME CF Bitcoin Real Time Index (BRTI) recorded at $77,423.26 that day [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Public discussion in late August 2026, including 15-minute timeframe analysis, frequently centered on BTC trading "near $77K" or targeting that level, with support identified around $77,500-$77,800 amidst a volatile, range-bound market influenced by macroeconomic catalysts [12][13][14][15][16][17][6][7][8][9][10][11].
