This market will resolve according to the total number of earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 or higher that occur anywhere on Earth between April 27, 2026, 12:00 AM ET, and May 3, 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.Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors zero magnitude 6.5+ earthquakes from April 27 to May 3 at 78.5% implied probability, driven by USGS data showing none recorded through May 2 despite comprehensive global seismic monitoring. This reflects a current period of below-average activity—historical patterns indicate roughly one such event weekly worldwide under Gutenberg-Richter scaling, yet recent weeks have seen no M6.5+ ruptures amid quiet plate boundaries and no precursory swarms or aftershock sequences. With only May 3 remaining before resolution, the risk of a late rupture remains low per USGS real-time catalogs, though unpredictable tectonic stress releases could shift odds; watch for final daily updates from the agency.
