Kalshi traders expect bitcoin to end 2026 near current levels

Reported · Written up by our desk · Market Structure

CNBC reports that traders using the prediction market platform Kalshi are currently pricing in a bitcoin finish for 2026 that is close to where the cryptocurrency is trading now.

According to the outlet, speculators view this outcome as the most likely among the platform's available bets, with the core expectation focused on bitcoin's year-end level rather than a major upside or downside move.
