About This Event

This market will resolve to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of XRP, generated by Chainlink, of the time range specified in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range. Otherwise, it will resolve to "Down". The resolution source for this market is information from Chainlink, specifically the XRP/USD TWAP data stream available at https://data.chain.link/streams/xrp-usd-twap-60s-streams. Please note that this market is about the price according to the TWAP Chainlink data stream for the asset pair XRP/USD, not according to any other sources or spot markets.

What the contract measures

This contract covers a single five-minute window, shown in the title as "XRP Up or Down - October 20, 3:40AM-3:45AM ET." It resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of XRP, generated by Chainlink, over that range is "greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range." Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1].

The resolution source is the Chainlink XRP/USD TWAP data stream, and the source states that the market is "about the price according to the TWAP Chainlink data stream for the asset pair XRP/USD, not according to any other sources or spot markets" [1]. A reader comparing this contract with another XRP market should check whether that market uses the same data stream, window, and comparison rule, because a different reference price or averaging method would make the contracts non-comparable.

The listed end time is 2026-10-20T07:45:00.000Z [1]. That is the contract's closing time, not evidence of when a result was published.

Reading the snapshot

The saved observation was taken at 2026-10-19T09:00:05.974Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-19T09:22:27.488Z [1]. These times describe the saved record only. The status at retrieval was "active" [1], and the snapshot does not show the contract's status today.

The saved prices were "Up" at 0.505 and "Down" at 0.495 [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities. They sum to 1.00 in this record, but a reader should not treat the gap between them as a trading opportunity without current, executable pricing. The sample contains one market from one platform, and the coverage record shows 1 included market of 1 total, with no partial sample [1]. Because the sample is a single binary contract, there are no other outcomes to compare against.

Volume and the number of traders are not part of this evidence, so the snapshot says nothing about liquidity or how many participants hold either side.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not show the XRP price at the start of the window, the TWAP over the window, or the final resolution. It also does not explain why the prices were where they were at observation time. The snapshot is roughly twenty minutes old at retrieval, and any later prices are outside this record.

The sample notes that all saved markets for this event are included, but "This does not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome" [1]. For this binary contract, that caveat matters less, but it still means the record describes this provider event only.

Overview

This contract is titled "XRP Up or Down - October 20, 3:40AM-3:45AM ET" and falls in the crypto category. It asks whether the price of XRP will rise or fall over one five-minute window. According to the market rules, it resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of XRP over the window named in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the start of that window. Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1]. The rules name Chainlink as the resolution source, specifically the XRP/USD TWAP data stream [1]. The rules also state that the market concerns the price in that Chainlink data stream for the XRP/USD pair, and not any other source or spot market [1]. A reader should therefore treat the contract as a question about one specific data feed, not about XRP prices in general. The saved market lists an end time of 2026-10-20T07:45:00.000Z, which is the close of the window [1]. The market data records two outcomes, Up at 0.505 and Down at 0.495, observed at 2026-10-19T09:00:05.974Z [1]. These are snapshot prices from that observation time. They are not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities of the outcome.

Why It Matters

The contract measures whether the average XRP/USD price over a five-minute window is at or above the price at the start of that window, using the Chainlink TWAP stream named in the rules [1]. Because it uses an average rather than a single moment, the result depends on the whole window and not only on the closing price. Because it uses the Chainlink stream specifically, the result is tied to that feed and not to other exchanges or spot markets [1]. The saved outcome prices, Up at 0.505 and Down at 0.495, are close to each other in this snapshot [1]. Their closeness reflects the prices recorded at the observation time only. The market's own rules define the outcome, and the snapshot does not show how the window will resolve.
