BTC Weekly
# BTC Weekly
A seven-strike Bitcoin ladder settled from **Pyth `Crypto.BTC/USD`**.
Two independent weekly lanes expire at **08:00 UTC on Monday and Friday**.
Each lane rolls to the same weekday one week later. There is no Wednesday lane
in the current schedule.

## Strikes
The live mainnet ladders observed on October 28, 2026 were:
| Expiry (UTC) | Strikes |
|---|---|
| Friday, October 30, 08:00 | $78,000 / $79,000 / $80,000 / $81,000 / $82,000 / $83,000 / $84,000 |
| Monday, November 2, 08:00 | $77,000 / $78,000 / $79,000 / $80,000 / $81,000 / $82,000 / $83,000 |
These are dated examples, not permanent thresholds. Read each new market's
published strike. Every rung has its own book, and several Yes tokens can win
on the same expiry.
The older three-rung ladders with $2,300 wings and Mon/Wed/Fri expiries are
previous schedules. They do not describe the current seven-rung Mon/Fri markets.
## Schedule and price basis
The expiry stays at **08:00 UTC throughout the year**; it does not shift with
New York daylight saving time. Monday and Friday are separate week-long rounds,
not a Monday-to-Friday contract followed by a shorter weekend contract.
The market settles from Pyth's BTC/USD price. A Hyperliquid perp hedge or an
option on another venue can use a different price and settlement calculation,
even when its expiry is also 08:00 UTC. Matching the clock does not make the
contracts identical.
## Feed and resolution
The immutable on-chain text names “the Pyth BTC/USD price” and a 90-second
window ending at expiry. Settlement uses the confidence-weighted computation
on the [Pyth feed page](/price-feeds/pyth#how-the-window-resolves).
There is no dead zone around a strike. Above pays Yes; equality and below pay
No. If the final window lacks enough usable observations, settlement retries
and can resolve to 0.5 rather than inventing a price. A 0.5 resolution pays
0.50 USDC per token on either side, before fees; it does not refund the original
purchase price.
