Robinhood Seeks Bets on Bitcoin Price in 2026
Risk-tolerant investors can now bet on the price of Bitcoin on July 27, 2026 at 8pm EDT through a contract offered by Robinhood. The contract's payout is based on the CF Benchmarks' Real Time Index (RTI) prices collected at the last minute before expiration. If the prediction is correct, participants will receive $1 for every contract they own.
The event resolves within one hour of the final value determination, which is calculated as the average of 60 RTI prices. Trading hours are available 24/7, except on Thursdays between 3am and 5am ET. The contract also comes with additional fees for those who choose to close their positions before the outcome is determined.
Risk warnings advise that futures and options trading involves significant risk and is not suitable for everyone. Eligibility requirements apply, and participants are restricted from trading if they hold material, non-public information on Bitcoin or work for specified agencies.
