The 'BTC above $100,000 by Jan 1, 2027' contract (KXBTC2026200) trades at just 4¢, while the more moderate 'BTC above $99,999.99 by Dec 31, 2026' (KXBTCMAXY) is at 13¢. The bearish case is stronger: 'BTC below $50,000 by Jan 1, 2027' (KXBTCMINY) is at 58¢, and 'below $55,000' at 75¢. The monthly trimmed mean markets show BTC above $70k in July at just 15¢ (KXBTCMAXMON-BTC-26JU), while below $57.5k sits at 62¢ (KXBTCMINMON-BTC-26JU).
