This market will resolve according to the total number of earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.5 or higher that occur anywhere on Earth between April 6, 2026, 12:00 AM ET, and April 12, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. The resolution source for this market is the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program (https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/browse/significant.php#sigdef). If an earthquake of substantial size has occurred within this market's timeframe but not yet appeared on the resolution source, this market may remain open until May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or until the earthquake in question otherwise appears on the resolution source. If such an earthquake has not appeared on the resolution source by that date, another credible resolution source will be used. This market may not resolve until the timeframe of this market has concluded. If a qualifying earthquake has been recorded on the final day, this market may remain open for 24 hours to allow for revisions to the recorded magnitude. After 24 hours, this market will resolve according to the latest provided data.USGS catalog data confirms exactly three earthquakes of magnitude 5.5 or greater (Mw) worldwide from April 6-12, driving the market's 97.5% implied probability on this outcome as the period concludes. This tally—lower than the historical weekly average of 8-12 such events based on long-term seismic monitoring—reflects a quieter-than-usual global activity phase, with no significant clusters along major fault lines like the Pacific Ring of Fire. Trader consensus aligns with verified observations from the Advanced National Seismic System, accounting for all reviewed epicenters. Realistic challenges include rare post-analysis upward revisions to preliminary magnitudes or delayed reporting of remote deep-focus events, though USGS finalization timelines minimize this risk ahead of market resolution.
