Kalshi Traders Predict $97K Bitcoin Peak in 2026
Kalshi's traders now give Bitcoin roughly a 46% chance of reaching $100,000 by year-end, despite their bets on a September breakout cooling down.
The platform's 'How high will Bitcoin get in 2026?' contract series has seen significant trading activity, with the $97,000 forecast climbing to $1,570 earlier today. The 'above $99,999.99' contract is priced at 45 cents, indicating a 45% probability.
The odds of BTC touching $90,000 in September have dropped from 44% to 39% within the past 24 hours, while the U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have taken in around $1.7 billion across Sept. 21 and 22, backing longer-dated bets.
