This event tracks whether a significant earthquake will occur on a specific date, measured by the magnitude reported by a leading geological survey. The focus is on the peak seismic activity recorded during a defined 24-hour period, with varying thresholds indicating different levels of intensity.
All markets resolve based on whether the highest magnitude earthquake reported worldwide by the USGS on October 6, 2026, between midnight and 23:59 UTC, meets or exceeds the specified threshold. The magnitude used for settlement is the value displayed at contract expiration, with moment magnitude (Mw) taking precedence when available. If multiple earthquakes share the highest magnitude, all qualify as resolving events. Settlement may be delayed if USGS ComCat data becomes unavailable at expiration. Each market corresponds to a different magnitude threshold, from 5.2 to 7.0, with higher thresholds representing more severe seismic events.
