Will the price of XRP be above $1.40 on September 24?

• Spot is 1.3179, so resolution requires a close above 1.40 — a ~6.2% rally within 4 days, a meaningful but far from impossible move for a large-cap altcoin.
• Using XRP's typical daily volatility of ~3-4%, four-day volatility is ~6-8%, putting the strike roughly 0.8-1.0 standard deviations above spot, which under a lognormal-with-fat-tails view implies a YES probability near 0.18-0.25.
• The resolution is a single 1-minute candle close at noon ET on Binance, not a sustained level, so only the price path endpoint matters; no scheduled catalyst before Sept 24 was identified, so drift is likely noise-dominated rather than event-driven.
• Time decay is unfavorable to YES: with only 4 days left and price below the strike, the market needs an actual rally rather than merely holding current levels.

What would change it: A sharp XRP rally over the next 1-3 days (e.g., driven by broad crypto market strength or XRP-specific news) pushing spot toward or above 1.40 would move this estimate toward 0.5 or higher.
