About this market

What is KXETHMAX ETH Max Price?

KXETHMAX is the ether version of the max-price series: will ETH's high in the window clear the strike? It trades less than bitcoin but reacts harder when DeFi liquidations hit. AymarData has been recording the KXETHMAX series since 2026-10-01 and holds 24.2K events so far — about 968 a day. History is forward-only; we record live and do not backfill Kalshi.

Path dependence plus thinner liquidity means spreads are wider than KXETHD. A single cascade through a popular strike can flip the contract while daily ladders barely move.

Compare KXETHMAX with KXETHD and Binance ETHUSDT to separate wick-risk pricing from end-of-day direction pricing on the same asset.

What moves KXETHMAX

  • ETH/BTC beta during risk-on spikes
  • DeFi liquidation cascades that print briefly elevated highs
  • Time decay inside the window when the high stays below the strike
