Trader consensus overwhelmingly backs "No" at 97.5% for a megaquake—defined as magnitude 9.0 or greater—by March 31, driven by their extreme rarity and the absence of precursory signals in global seismic data. Only five such events have been recorded instrumentally since 1900, the last being Japan's 2011 Tohoku rupture at M9.1, per USGS archives. Current monitoring by networks like the USGS and GFZ shows no anomalous strain accumulation or foreshock swarms in high-risk subduction zones such as Nankai Trough, Cascadia, or Sumatra. Recent quakes, including Japan's M7.6 in January 2024, remain far below mega thresholds with diminishing aftershocks. Realistic wildcards include sudden full-plate unlocks in these zones, though probabilistic models peg annual odds below 0.1%, yielding negligible short-term risk.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if 1 or more earthquakes with a magnitude of 8.0 or higher occur anywhere on Earth between market creation and March 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
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 the end of the seventh day after the resolution time, 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.
After a qualifying earthquake is registered, this market will remain open for 24 hours to account for any revisions to its recorded magnitude. After 24 hours, this market will resolve according to the latest provided data.
