This market will resolve according to the total number of earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.0 or higher that occur anywhere on Earth between December 4, 2025, 12:00 PM ET, and June 30, 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 July 7, 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.USGS data shows four magnitude 7.0+ earthquakes worldwide in 2026 through April 2, with a recent cluster driving trader sentiment toward 8+ total by June 30: an M7.4 offshore Indonesia on April 1, M7.3 near Vanuatu on March 30, M7.5 near Tonga on March 24, and M7.0 near Malaysia on February 22. This elevated pace—three events in March alone along Pacific Ring of Fire subduction zones—aligns with the long-term global average of 15-16 M7+ quakes annually, implying about four more in the remaining three months for a total exceeding eight. Traders price an 81.5% implied probability for 8+, reflecting consensus on sustained activity despite earthquakes' quasi-random, clustered nature and lack of short-term predictability; continuous USGS catalog updates will track further developments.
