Polymarket's contract asking whether Ethereum will trade above $2,200 on August 23 jumped 16 percentage points on August 20, moving from 66% to 81% on $19,241 of volume, according to DRM3's Polymarket instrument.[^1]

The read here is that the move is meaningful in direction but modest in size - $19,241 is a thin book, and a single large position can shift a low-liquidity market without reflecting broad conviction. The figure is worth watching, not banking on.

What would settle the question is the price of Ethereum at the August 23 close. Until then, the 81% implied probability is the sharpest data point the record carries.
