BTC Daily
# BTC Daily
Five independent Bitcoin Yes/No markets expire together **every day at 08:00
UTC**. The ladder includes a middle strike and two strikes on either side.
The market's on-chain text names **the Hyperliquid BTC perp trade price** and
the 90 seconds ending at expiry. Read the strike and expiry on the individual
market: they are fixed when it is minted.

## Strikes
The live ladder for **October 28, 2026 at 08:00 UTC** was:
| Strike | Outcome ID |
|---|---:|
| $79,000 | 18275 |
| $79,500 | 18274 |
| $80,000 | 18271 |
| $80,500 | 18272 |
| $81,000 | 18276 |
These are a dated example from mainnet, not fixed strikes for future rounds.
Every rung has its own book and pays independently. Multiple Yes tokens can
win; a ladder is not a set of mutually exclusive price ranges.
## Schedule
The daily expiry is fixed at **08:00 UTC**. It does not move with New York
daylight saving time. The [hourly](/markets/btc-hourly) and
[four-hour](/markets/btc-4-hour) markets can also expire at that instant; the
hourly no longer skips 06:00.
The older two-wing 06:00 UTC pair and the subsequent three-rung noon-New-York
ladder describe previous schedules. The current daily has five strikes and an
08:00 UTC expiry.
## Resolution
The `binaryPrice` template asks whether the named price is **above** the
threshold at the published expiry, using the specified 90-second average.
The observation interval is `(07:58:30, 08:00:00]` UTC. A post-expiry price is
not substituted for this window, and the winning side is determined using the
computed value rather than a rounded chart label.
The published delisting fallback uses the BTC settlement price at delisting
if the perp is delisted before the market settles. Settlement is separate from
expiry; the market need not pay at exactly 08:00:00.
The on-chain price description and window are authoritative. A candle chart is
not, by itself, a reproduction of the settlement calculation: candle averages
and trade-stream VWAPs are distinct measurements. See
[Price feeds](/price-feeds/overview) for that distinction.
