- Will Banksy create a new mural or street artwork by December 31?54¢54%
Banksy’s pattern of sporadic, event-tied street interventions sustains the slim majority for a new outdoor mural or authenticated piece by year-end. No fresh public works have surfaced since the 2025 High Court and Christmas murals, while recent October exhibitions in Colchester and the Lucas Museum highlight existing or studio pieces rather than new street production. Traders weigh this quiet period against the artist’s history of rapid responses to news cycles and occasional holiday timing, with roughly ten weeks remaining for a possible drop. The 57.5% implied probability reflects that uncertainty, as authentication must come directly from Banksy’s official channels and the work must be created outdoors within the window.
Rules
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Banksy authenticates a new mural or outdoor street artwork between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Only works created between market creation and December 31, 2026 will qualify. Artworks created before this market's timeframe but revealed or posted within this market's timeframe will not qualify. A qualifying mural or street artwork must be outdoors on a structure or surface other than a canvas. Paintings on canvases or other surfaces designed for art, such as paper or board, will not qualify. This market will resolve according to confirmation from official Banksy channels including his official Instagram account (@banksy) or official website (banksy.co.uk). Authentication from third-party reporting, gallery attribution, or social media speculation will not be sufficient to resolve this market.
