Nakamoto unveils Bitcoin derivatives program with Kraken, Bitwise

Nakamoto Inc. has rolled out a new actively managed Bitcoin derivatives program with Kraken and Bitwise. The Polymarket contract predicting Bitcoin’s price above $68,000 on April 26 sits at 99.6% YES.

Market reaction

The term structure for the April 26 market shows no movement, which points to strong trader conviction that Bitcoin will stay above $68,000. Sub-markets for April 26 consistently show 99.6% YES. Combined 24-hour actual USDC traded across sub-markets is $52,701.

Why it matters

The announcement follows recent U.S. regulatory developments where the SEC and CFTC have classified Bitcoin as a digital commodity. Nakamoto’s program with two established crypto firms adds another institutional participant to Bitcoin derivatives. At 99.6% YES, a YES share at 99.6¢ pays $1, leaving almost no upside for new buyers. The near-certainty pricing reflects traders treating the $68,000 level as well below current market conditions rather than a meaningful threshold.

What to watch

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming statements and any large-scale Bitcoin purchases by corporate treasuries could shift sentiment. Changes in monetary policy direction would be the most likely catalyst for repricing.
