Robinhood Launches BTC Price Prediction Market for September 2026

Retail investing platform Robinhood has introduced a new cryptocurrency prediction market, focusing on the price of Bitcoin (BTC) on September 16, 2026 at 3pm EDT. The contract resolves based on the CF Benchmarks' Real Time Index (RTI), collecting 60 prices at the last minute before expiration and averaging them to determine the final value.

The market offers investors a chance to predict whether the price of Bitcoin will reach certain targets, with payout options including $1 for every contract owned if the prediction is correct. Investors can also close their positions before the event resolves, but additional fees apply.

The contract details warn that futures and options trading involves significant risk and may not be suitable for everyone, advising investors to consider their personal financial circumstances before participating.
