According to coinbase
Resolution criteria
Resolves Yes if Coinbase Exchange’s BTC-USD spot price exceeds $115,000 at any time on August 27, 2025 (00:00:00–23:59:59 UTC). “Exceeds” means strictly greater than $115,000.
Primary check: Coinbase Exchange 5‑minute candles for BTC-USD over 2025‑08‑27; if any candle’s high > 115000, resolve Yes; otherwise No. Example query: https://api.exchange.coinbase.com/products/BTC-USD/candles?start=2025-08-27T00:00:00Z&end=2025-08-28T00:00:00Z&granularity=300. Candle schema is [timestamp, low, high, open, close]. (docs.cdp.coinbase.com)
Source of truth is Coinbase data only (BTC-USD spot). If Coinbase’s public endpoints are temporarily unavailable on the day, resolution waits until the data is accessible. (docs.cdp.coinbase.com)
Background
Coinbase’s public docs define the candles endpoint and fields used for the “high” value referenced above. (docs.cdp.coinbase.com)
On Coinbase, Bitcoin’s all‑time high was reported at ~$124,290 on August 14, 2025 (useful for context vs the $115k threshold). (coinbase.com)
Considerations
Time is measured in UTC using Coinbase’s timestamps; other exchanges, ETFs, or indices are irrelevant. (docs.cdp.coinbase.com)
Exact prints at $115,000.00 do not count; any trade above $115,000.00 does.
Pair is BTC-USD on Coinbase Exchange (not USDT/USDC or derivatives). (docs.cdp.coinbase.com)
