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 market, titled "XRP Up or Down - October 19, 8:55PM-9:00PM ET," 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 resolution source is the XRP/USD TWAP data stream. The rules state that the market concerns "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]. The listed end time is 2026-10-20T01:00:00.000Z [1]. That timestamp matches the 9:00PM ET close in the title, but the rules define resolution by the TWAP comparison, not by the closing time alone.

Reading the snapshot

The saved provider observation time is 2026-10-19T03:00:06.086Z, and the record was retrieved at 2026-10-19T04:22:55.906Z [1]. The observation time is when the provider data was captured. The retrieval time is when this record was pulled. Neither is the contract's closing time or its resolution.

In this snapshot, "Up" is priced at 0.505 and "Down" at 0.495 [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities. The two prices sum to 1.00 in this record. The saved volume and trader count are not included in the evidence, so the snapshot says nothing about liquidity or how many participants hold either side.

The sample covers one market from one Polymarket event. The coverage record reports one total market, one included market, and no partial sample [1]. The provider notes that all saved markets for this event are included, but that does not establish that the provider lists every possible real-world outcome [1]. For a binary Up or Down contract, no other outcome is shown here to compare.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not show prices after the snapshot, the final TWAP value, or how the market resolved. The provider status was recorded as active at the time of the saved record [1]. Any current status or price must be checked at the source. The evidence also does not explain why the prices sit where they do. No comparable contract from another platform appears in this evidence, so differences in wording or close times across platforms cannot be assessed here.

Overview

This market is a short-window price contract on XRP, the asset priced against US dollars as XRP/USD. Its title, "XRP Up or Down - October 19, 8:55PM-9:00PM ET", identifies the window it covers: 8:55 PM to 9:00 PM Eastern Time on October 19. The listed end time is 2026-10-20T01:00:00.000Z [1]. The contract resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of XRP over the window in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that window. Otherwise it resolves to "Down" [1]. The outcome therefore depends on an averaged price across the interval, compared with the starting price, rather than on the price at a single moment. The contract names a specific resolution source: Chainlink's XRP/USD TWAP data stream, with a 60-second TWAP configuration [1]. The rules state that the market is about the price in that Chainlink data stream and not about any other source or spot market [1]. A reader should therefore check the Chainlink stream when reviewing how the contract will settle, rather than a price shown on an exchange. At the time of the saved snapshot, the event was recorded as active [1]. The saved prices were 0.505 for "Up" and 0.495 for "Down" [1]. These figures are observations taken at a past point in time. They are not executable quotes, and they are not verified probabilities of either outcome. The two prices sum to 1.000 in this snapshot, but a snapshot does not show what a buyer or seller could trade at. The saved event for this window contains only this one market, so the "Up" and "Down" pair is the full set of listed outcomes for this event [1].

Why It Matters

The contract measures whether the average XRP/USD price over a five-minute window, as recorded by Chainlink's TWAP data stream, finishes at or above the price at the start of that window [1]. It is useful for tracking a short-term directional question on XRP without relying on other price feeds, because the rules tie the outcome to that one stream [1]. The contract's terms define what counts as settlement. Its saved prices alone do not show how likely either outcome is.
