This event tracks whether a significant earthquake will occur on a specific date, measured by the magnitude reported by a leading geological survey. It focuses on the possibility of seismic activity reaching certain strength thresholds during a defined 24-hour period. Outcomes depend entirely on recorded data from that day.
All markets resolve based on whether the highest magnitude earthquake reported worldwide by the USGS on September 15, 2026, between midnight and 23:59:59 UTC, meets or exceeds the specified threshold. The determining magnitude is the USGS-reported value displayed at expiration, with moment magnitude (Mw) taking precedence when available. If multiple earthquakes share the highest magnitude, all qualify as resolving the market. If USGS ComCat data is unavailable at expiration, settlement may be delayed under contract contingencies. Thresholds range from 5.2 to 7.0, with each market requiring a higher minimum magnitude for resolution to 'Yes.'
