Satoshi identity revealed by 2026 nears full pricing

Polymarket 99%
record: CMSIG2026100808 | category: momentum-repricing | target: CM-EVT-24JSNTN2D5 | published: 2026-10-08
4-bullet brief | narrative
  • Polymarket prices a 99% chance Satoshi Nakamoto's identity will be publicly revealed by 2026, with trading volume up over 10,000% day-over-day, a 102.7x surge.
  • The AI cryptographic security warning story appears to have catalyzed fresh attention on this contract, driving the extreme volume spike even as the price itself is already near ceiling.
  • A companion Kalshi contract (CM-EVT-77NC57P468) prices only a 3% chance Satoshi moves any Bitcoin by 2027, suggesting the market separates identity revelation from on-chain action.
  • Resolves via UMA oracle; the contract likely requires a credible, broadly accepted public identification, not an unverified claim.
