Will Bitcoin be at or above $78,750 on Aug 31?
Bitcoin sits just below the strike after repeated $80,000 rejections, so an August 31 settlement at or above $78,750 is a meaningful underdog.
The settlement-basis price is $78,276.9204, only 0.60% below the strike, leaving the threshold reachable within hours. However, repeated failures near $80,000, a recent close below $78,000, and weakening daily fund flows favor a below-threshold settlement. A conflicting delayed index print near $97,486 is not corroborated by most same-day price records. The evidence therefore leans against YES, although the narrow price gap and Bitcoin’s intraday volatility keep an above-threshold settlement live.
