Robinhood Launches Contract on Future Bitcoin Price

Retail trading platform Robinhood is offering a contract on the price of Bitcoin (BTC) at a specific time in the future. The event will take place on October 2, 2026, at 10am EDT and will determine whether the price of BTC is above or below certain thresholds.

The contract will resolve based on the Real Time Index (RTI) from CF Benchmarks. At the last minute before expiration, 60 RTI prices are collected, and the official and final value is the average of these prices.

Investors can buy contracts with a $1 price tag for every contract they own if their prediction is correct. They also have the option to close their position before the event resolves, but will incur additional fees.
