What the contract measures

The market asks whether a US ally will get a nuke before 2027. It resolves "Yes" only if credible reports from international nuclear agencies, a claimant government, or a consensus of credible global news sources officially confirm that a qualifying country possesses a nuclear weapon by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET [1]. The contract defines a "US ally" as a NATO member or a Major Non-NATO Ally as of November 12, 2025, and a country outside that definition resolves the market to "No" [1]. Nuclear sharing arrangements without independent control over weapons do not qualify, and any admission from Israel of possessing a nuclear weapon does not qualify [1].

The listed end time is 2027-01-01T04:59:00.000Z, which corresponds to the 11:59 PM ET deadline in the rules [1]. Readers comparing this contract with a similarly titled market should check the exact wording, the eligibility definition, and the listed close time, since small differences in any of these can change what a "Yes" outcome requires.

Reading the snapshot

The saved snapshot was observed on October 15, 2026 at 16:13 UTC and retrieved at 18:24 UTC on the same day [1]. It shows a single active market with a "Yes" price of 0.0375 and a "No" price of 0.9625 [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes, and they should not be treated as verified probabilities.

The coverage record lists one market for this event, and the sample is not partial [1]. Because only one contract is included, there is no comparison across outcomes or platforms in this snapshot. The prices simply show what the saved snapshot recorded for the two outcomes of this one contract.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not explain why the price is where it is, and it does not show how many traders hold each position. Volume is not a measure of liquidity or trader count, and this snapshot does not provide liquidity data. The evidence also does not include news about the underlying question, so readers should not infer any development from the price alone. The provider's sampling note states that the saved markets do not establish that every possible real-world outcome is listed [1]. Finally, this snapshot records prices at one moment; it does not show the current price, and any later reading would need its own retrieval time.
