Bitcoin’s latest settlement-basis reading is barely above $81,000, so a September 3 settlement at or above the threshold is favored.
The latest settlement-basis price is $81,021.24, putting Bitcoin narrowly on the qualifying side. Later venue readings around $81,230 support that rebound, but earlier September 3 readings near $77,000–$78,000 show how quickly conditions changed. The cushion is less than 0.03%, and heavy derivatives activity increases the risk of another abrupt move before settlement. On balance, an at-or-above-$81,000 settlement is favored.
