- China ballistic missile launch by December 31?11¢11%
China has intensified military signaling through unannounced naval and rocket force drills in early November, including DF-26 launches, area-denial operations around Taiwan, and reports of a submarine-launched ICBM test from the Yellow Sea, yet these activities remain framed as routine training rather than escalatory strikes. Beijing’s emphasis on rapid-response capabilities and new systems such as the DF-61 occurs alongside Xi Jinping’s recent statements prioritizing peaceful reunification and ahead of the APEC summit, where a Trump-Xi meeting is anticipated. Traders assess that these factors, combined with the short remaining window and absence of acute cross-strait triggers, support a high probability that no ballistic missile launch meeting market resolution criteria will occur by December 31.
Szabályok
This market will resolve to "Yes" if China launches a ballistic missile between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Only launches of ballistic missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and ballistic anti-ship missiles, will qualify toward a “Yes” resolution. Launches of other systems such as cruise missiles, SAMs, MLRS/rocket artillery, torpedoes, etc., will not qualify toward a "Yes" resolution. The market resolution will be based on publicly available information from reliable sources such as official government statements, reports from international monitoring bodies like the United Nations, or reports from reputable international media.
