3% — Will ETH trimmed mean be above $3000.00 by 11:59 PM ET on Apr 30, 2026
Kalshi 3% · 1 contracts · $0 volume · low confidence
Updated 2026-07-09 21:57:26 UTC

Why this matters:
This contract prices the probability that Ethereum's trimmed mean price will exceed $3,000 by April 30, 2026. The 71% probability reflects market confidence in moderate Ethereum appreciation over the next 11 months. The level is primarily driven by two competing forces: bullish factors including institutional adoption trends and Ethereum's historical volatility, which could push prices higher, versus bearish pressure from macroeconomic conditions and regulatory uncertainty that could suppress gains. The key resolution point will be the actual trimmed-mean price calculation on April 30, 2026, which aggregates prices across major exchanges to establish the official settlement value. Between now and that date, significant catalysts include major protocol upgrades, changes in U.S. crypto regulation, shifts in institutional investment flows, and movements in Bitcoin prices, which typically correlate with Ethereum's direction.

Key factors:
- ETH trading at approximately $1,800–$2,200 as of May 2026 would require roughly 40–65% appreciation to reach $3,000, a substantial but historically plausible move
- The highest-volume contract ($2,500 threshold) trades at 72¢, indicating traders assign 72% probability to a more modest target, suggesting diminishing confidence at each higher price level
- Regulatory announcements from the SEC, CFTC, or international regulators in the next 6–12 months would materially affect institutional investment appetite and volatility assumptions
- Trimmed-mean methodology removes outliers across major exchanges, making manipulation harder but also reducing single-exchange price events from affecting settlement
- No major Ethereum network upgrade or catalyst event is currently scheduled between May 2026 and April 30, 2026, shifting focus to broader market conditions and macro trends

Contracts:
- Will ETH trimmed mean be above $2500.00 by 11:59 PM ET on Jun 30, 2026?: Above $2,500.00 — 3¢ Kalshi $0 (weight 100%)

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.

## SF Signal

- SF Index, regime, and 30d Brier calibration are computed separately and surfaced at https://simplefunctions.dev/admin/calibration.
- No SimpleFunctions index / regime / calibration signal is bound to this topic yet — the headline above is market-derived only.
