Trader consensus on Polymarket prices zero magnitude 6.5+ earthquakes at 48.5% implied probability for March 30–April 5, reflecting USGS historical global rates of roughly one such event per week amid stable seismicity governed by plate tectonics and Gutenberg-Richter frequency-magnitude distribution. Recent USGS data shows elevated activity with four M6.5+ quakes—6.6 South Shetland Islands (March 20), 6.6 northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge (March 21), 7.5 Tonga (March 24), and 6.5 Japan (March 26)—clustered along Pacific subduction zones, yet no ongoing aftershock sequences or seismic swarms signal continuation into next week. Current global activity remains low per monitoring reports, supporting low-count outcomes while >5 (32.3%) captures tail risk from rare bursts; watch USGS catalog for real-time updates resolving the market.

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.
