3. Market Data
Contract Snapshot
The market resolves to YES if the final ETH price is at least 62 cents higher than its initial value for the 15-minute period, and to NO if it is not. This market runs from October 30, 8:45 PM EDT and concludes at 9:00 PM EDT on the same day. The official settlement value is determined by averaging 60 Real Time Index (RTI) prices from CF Benchmarks, collected during the last minute before the 9:00 PM EDT expiration.
Market Discussion
Public discussion centers on the introduction of taker fees for 15-minute crypto markets by Polymarket in January 2026, with social media commentary divided on whether trading bots persist or if these fees represent a significant change for previously fee-free short-duration markets [1]. While a target price of $2,245.23 was listed in a past prediction market for October 30, 8:00 a.m. ET, this figure also appeared as a contemporaneous ETH market price [2]. Overall, the evidence supports identifying this as short-horizon ETH prediction-market activity and commentary, but it does not establish a reliable current probability for an ETH 15-minute contract targeting exactly $2,245.23 on October 31, 2026 [2].
