Predicted for 31. December 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
Bitcoin is trading at ~$65,030 on 24 July 2026 (Coinbase). Polymarket shows only 11% probability for Bitcoin above $100,000 by year-end 2026, implying a moderate bull market with BTC at ~$70,000–80,000. The open predictions 'BTC >$75,000 on 31.12.2026' and 'ETH >$2,000 on 31.07.2026' form the framework. The historical ETH/BTC ratio in bullish phases is 0.045–0.055; with BTC at $75,000–80,000, this implies an ETH corridor of $3,375–4,400. A year-end close above $3,500 corresponds to ~55–60% gain from the estimated current ETH level (~$2,200–2,500). Risks: Regulatory restrictions by SEC, competition from Solana/other L1 networks, slowdown in DeFi activity.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launched on June 5, 2025, and by September 2026 had reportedly sold approximately 20–24 million units (industry sources noted it had already surpassed GameCube's lifetime sales of 21.74M). Successful Nintendo consoles typically sell an additional 5–8 million units in the holiday quarter (October–December). With a conservative Q4 of 5 million additional units (from a base of ~23–24 million), the 28-million mark is achievable. No Polymarket quote; Metaculus implies ~52% at this threshold.

Apple follows its established chip refresh cycle: M4 MacBook Pro announced November 2024 — M5 refresh after 23–24 months in October/November 2026 fits the historical pattern exactly (M1→M2: ~17 months; M2→M3: ~16 months; M3→M4: ~14 months). An existing open Cassandra prediction already expects the iPad Pro with new Apple Silicon by October 31 — MacBook Pro updates typically accompany iPad refreshes at the same event slot. 9to5Mac and Bloomberg reported M5 MacBook Pro leaks for H2 2026. Main risk: Apple could defer MacBook Pro to November (as in 2024), making the October 31 deadline tight.

Samsung announced Intelligent Eyewear for 'Fall 2026' at Galaxy Unpacked London (July 2026). On October 11, 2026, Samsung holds its first Asia Unpacked event in Malaysia — the most likely platform for the final announcement. Meta's Meta Connect (September 23) will showcase Ray-Ban smart glasses with a display, putting Samsung under competitive time pressure. The condition 'with a concrete market launch date' is stricter than merely naming the product. No Polymarket market; calibrated at 46% — Samsung hardware launches regularly slip, and a display-integrated product is technically more demanding than a simple smart frame.
