Will Bitcoin be at or above $77,250 on Sep 1?
Bitcoin remains roughly $750 above the threshold with hours left, so a September 1 settlement at or above $77,250 is likely with meaningful uncertainty.
The current settlement-basis price is $78,000.249, placing Bitcoin modestly above the required $77,250. Several September 1 observations also remained above the threshold, and little time remains for the cushion to disappear. However, Bitcoin has already traded around or below the cutoff, while weakening spot demand and elevated leverage create meaningful downside risk. A threshold settlement is therefore more likely than a sub-threshold finish, but not secure.
