Robinhood Derivatives Lists HYPE Price Contracts With 81¢ Odds on $70 by 3 p.m. EDT

3 articles · Updated · robinhood.com · Jul 4

Summary

  • Robinhood Derivatives is offering July 4 event contracts on HYPE, paying $1 if traders correctly predict the token’s price at 3 p.m. EDT.
  • The listed market showed 81¢ for HYPE finishing at $70 or above, 12¢ for $71 or above, and 0¢ for $100 or higher, implying traders see little chance of a sharp intraday jump.
  • Settlement is tied to CF Benchmarks’ real-time index rather than exchange quotes; the final value is the average of 60 readings collected in the last minute before expiration.
  • The contracts trade nearly 24 hours a day, usually pay out within 1 hour of resolution, and are offered through Robinhood Derivatives via KalshiEX, ForecastEX or Rothera.
  • Robinhood also displayed similar crypto event markets for BTC, ETH, XRP, Solana and BNB, underscoring its broader push into short-dated prediction-style trading.
