Summary

  • Robinhood Derivatives is offering event contracts on HYPE’s price at 9 p.m. EDT on July 18, 2026, with live quotes showing 97 cents for $59-or-above and 95 cents for $54-or-above.
  • The market resolves using CF Benchmarks’ Real Time Index, averaging 60 readings collected in the final minute before expiration rather than exchange prices shown on sites like Google or Coinbase.
  • Winning contracts pay $1, traders can exit before resolution, and the market runs nearly 24 hours a day except for a Thursday 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. ET pause.
  • The listing sits alongside similar crypto event contracts on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB and DOGE, extending Robinhood’s prediction-market style offerings in digital assets.
