4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices Bitcoin outperforming gold in 2026 at 37%, keeping Bitcoin the underdog against gold on an annual return basis.
Treasury dropping the unhosted wallet reporting rules is a regulatory positive for crypto, but the contract remains well below 50%, signaling the market is not yet convinced it shifts Bitcoin's full-year trajectory.
Bitcoin near $83,000 is roughly 34% below its all-time high (per Story 32), and gold's relative stability in a risk-off macro environment explains the sub-50% pricing.
A companion Kalshi contract (CM-EVT-FMPY92KRH8) on the same question sits at 48%, a notable 11-percentage-point gap versus Polymarket, suggesting meaningful cross-venue disagreement on Bitcoin's year-end prospects.
