This market will resolve to "Yes" if any US bank fails between this market's creation and the listed date 11:59 PM ET (according to the FDIC's "Failed Bank List"). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." For this market to resolve to "Yes", the bank's closing date as listed by the FDIC must be within this market's above-specified timeframe. If there is a potential bank failure within this market's timeframe and the FDIC "Failed Bank List" has not been updated yet, this market may remain open to allow for the list to be updated. The primary resolution source for this market will be the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), specifically the "Failed Bank List" available here: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/resolutions/bank-failures/failed-bank-list/; however, other official statements from the FDIC and government entities will suffice.Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a 72% implied probability against a US bank failure by June 30, driven by the sector's resilience following the isolated January 30 closure of small Metropolitan Capital Bank & Trust—the sole 2026 failure to date—with FDIC costs at just $19.7 million and no systemic contagion. Strong bank profitability, high credit quality, and moderating commercial real estate delinquency risks amid selective lending growth underpin this positioning, bolstered by February's Federal Reserve stress test scenarios showing hypothetical resilience under severe recession assumptions. A sturdy economy, with March nonfarm payrolls adding 178,000 jobs and GDP growth projected at 2.6%, further eases pressures. Key catalyst: Fed stress test results due June 30, coinciding with market resolution.
