One prediction market prices this story:
- Before 2027 — the market puts it at 5%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a wallet identified as Satoshi Nakamoto’s on Arkham’s Intel Explorer executes an Outflow or Swaps transaction before January 1, 2027, at 12:00 AM ET. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Coinbase for the actual trigger, but only the specific blockchain activity on Arkham counts.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
