**USGS real-time earthquake catalog confirms zero magnitude 6.5 or greater events worldwide from April 13-19, 2026, anchoring trader consensus at 100% implied probability for zero occurrences.** The largest quake in that period was a M5.7 shallow event 20 km east-southeast of Silver Springs, Nevada, on April 14, followed by smaller tremors like M5.5 in the Carlsberg Ridge on April 18—none reaching the 6.5 threshold per moment magnitude (mww) scale. Globally, M6.5+ quakes average roughly one per week based on historical USGS data spanning active fault systems like the Pacific Ring of Fire, but seismic quietude prevailed here amid typical variability. Rare post-event magnitude revisions by USGS analysts could theoretically challenge this, though final reviewed catalogs rarely shift beyond 0.2 units after initial reports. Traders await official closure of the monitoring window.

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.
