Predictors Bet on Bitcoin Surge, Vitalik’s Linea Mention, ETH Push

Prediction Markets Heat Up: Bitcoin, Vitalik Buterin, and SharpLink Gaming Drive Major Crypto Bets into 2025

  • Prediction markets show most participants expect Bitcoin to reach $125,000 before dropping to $105,000.
  • A new market tracks if SharpLink Gaming (SBET) will reach one million ETH by September 16, though most predictors are doubtful.
  • Predictors are split on whether Vitalik Buterin will mention Linea—a major Ethereum layer-2 network—on his blog or social media in 2025.
  • SharpLink Gaming has accumulated over 500,000 ETH, worth approximately $1.9 billion, as it aims for its initial one million ETH goal.
  • Recent developments, including fundraises and policy announcements, are influencing the direction of these markets on Myriad Markets.

Prediction markets on Myriad, a platform developed by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, are seeing increased activity as users forecast major crypto events through the end of 2025. Key topics include the next significant Bitcoin Price point, possible public mentions of layer-2 network Linea by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, and efforts by SharpLink Gaming to grow its Ethereum holdings.

In the Bitcoin market, participants predict whether the cryptocurrency will first reach $125,000 or fall to $105,000 by December 31. As of Thursday, odds favor Bitcoin rising to $125,000 first, with 64% of predictors supporting this outcome. The shift follows a recent drop to $113,000 amid ETF outflows and a quick rebound influenced by renewed ETF inflows and news that U.S. President Donald Trump will allow crypto investments in 401(k) plans.

According to data on Myriad, “Analysts told Decrypt that the ETF outflows and market decline were just a blip in the overall bull market. Predictors seem to believe them.” The open market, which closes at the end of the year, has recorded a volume of $74,000.

A separate market is following Vitalik Buterin as users predict whether he’ll mention Linea—an Ethereum layer-2 network developed by ConsenSys—on his blog or X (formerly Twitter) by year-end. Odds are slightly in favor of a mention, at 52%, as Linea revealed its tokenomics and its token generation event is expected soon. Buterin has spoken about other Ethereum layer-2 networks but has not directly referenced Linea recently.

SharpLink Gaming, listed as SBET, is being tracked for its effort to reach one million ETH by September 16. The company has over 500,000 ETH, valued at $1.9 billion. Most predictors, at 55%, believe SharpLink will not hit its goal by the deadline. The company recently raised $200 million for ETH purchases, after increasing its planned stock sale to $6 billion. Predictors can follow SharpLink’s announcements, which often come on Tuesdays.
