Robinhood Launches Prediction Market for HYPE Cryptocurrency Price in 2026

A new prediction market on Robinhood is offering insights into the future price of the cryptocurrency HYPE. The market, which resolves on October 4, 2026, at 9pm EDT, allows users to predict whether the price of HYPE will be at or above specific thresholds.

Participants can bet on various price points, including $90.25 or above, $90 or above, and $90.75 or above. The payouts vary, with the highest payouts for the more precise predictions. For example, predicting $90.25 or above offers a 97¢ payout, while $90.75 or above provides a 4¢ payout.

The price used to determine the outcome is based on CF Benchmarks' corresponding Real Time Index (RTI). This index collects 60 RTI prices at the last minute before expiration, and the official value is the average of these prices. Robinhood emphasizes that not all cryptocurrency price data is the same, and the market's price is specifically derived from this RTI.
