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 one event, "XRP Up or Down - October 15, 6:15PM-6:20PM ET" [1]. The rules state that it "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"" [1]. The resolution source is the Chainlink XRP/USD TWAP data stream, and the rules say the market concerns "the price according to the TWAP Chainlink data stream... not according to any other sources or spot markets" [1].
The listed end time is 2026-10-15T22:20:00.000Z [1]. That is the contract's listed close, not a statement of when the outcome was determined. The evidence does not report an actual resolution.
Reading the snapshot
The saved provider observation is dated 2026-10-15T16:13:13.851Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-15T20:11:41.990Z [1]. The prices below come from the observation, not from the retrieval time, and they are not live quotes for today.
- Up: 0.505
- Down: 0.495 [1]
These are the only two saved outcomes for this market, and the coverage record shows one market included with no partial sample [1]. Because the observation was taken before the 6:15 PM ET window opened, the snapshot describes pricing before that window began. The evidence does not say why the prices were where they were, and it does not show trading activity or how many participants held either position.
These figures are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The narrow gap between Up and Down is a reading of this single observation only.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not include the XRP price at the start of the window, the TWAP value during the window, or any final resolution. It also does not show a later price. Anyone comparing this contract with a differently worded XRP contract on another platform should check the windows, data sources, and close times, since a different rule set is not directly comparable to this one, and a price difference between such contracts alone does not indicate an opportunity.

Saved Oct 15, 2026 UTCOverview
This is a short-interval price contract on XRP, the token associated with the XRP Ledger, using US dollars as the reference currency. The provider's rules say the market resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of XRP, generated by Chainlink, over the time range in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range. Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1]. The title sets the window as October 15, 6:15 PM to 6:20 PM ET [1]. The contract does not ask whether XRP's price is higher at the end of the window than the start. It compares the average price across the whole window with the starting price. A price that rises briefly and then falls back can therefore still leave the average at or above the starting level, and the reverse is also possible. The provider states that the resolution source is the XRP/USD TWAP data stream from Chainlink, and that the market concerns that data stream rather than other sources or spot markets [1]. The listed end time is 2026-10-15T22:20:00Z, which the provider gives as the close of the window [1]. That end time describes the contract's schedule. It is not a record of when the market was checked or settled. The saved snapshot shows "Up" at 0.505 and "Down" at 0.495 on the Polymarket event page [1]. These are observed prices from a saved record, not live or executable quotes. The record shows a single market for this event, so the two outcomes here are the full set of saved outcomes for this contract.
Why It Matters
The contract measures whether the Chainlink XRP/USD TWAP over a five-minute window finishes at or above its starting level [1]. Because it uses an average rather than a single print, the outcome depends on the path of the price across the window and not only its endpoints. Its rules point to one named data stream as the sole reference, so the result is tied to how that stream records XRP/USD during those minutes [1]. Anyone reading a price for this contract should keep in mind that it reflects trading interest in that rule, not a measured probability of the outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this XRP contract measure?
It measures whether the time-weighted average price of XRP, generated by Chainlink, over the window in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the start of that window [1].
Which data source decides the result?
The provider names the Chainlink XRP/USD TWAP data stream as the resolution source and says the market is not based on other sources or spot markets [1].
What does a price near 0.50 for each outcome mean?
The saved snapshot shows Up at 0.505 and Down at 0.495 [1]. Snapshot prices are not executable quotes or verified probabilities, so they should not be read as a forecast of the result.
Is this market still open?
The provider reported an active status at the time of its record [1]. That record is a past observation, so it does not confirm the status today. The listed end time is 2026-10-15T22:20:00Z [1].
