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 concerns the XRP/USD price on Polymarket's "XRP Up or Down - October 15, 2:20PM-2:25PM ET" event. According to the source, the 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"" [1]. The resolution source is the Chainlink XRP/USD TWAP data stream, and the rules state that other sources or spot markets do not determine the outcome [1]. The listed end time is 2026-10-15T18:25:00.000Z [1], which matches the end of the window in the title. The contract is therefore about an average price over a five-minute interval, not a price at a single moment.
Reading the snapshot
The saved sample contains one market with two outcomes. "Up" was priced at 0.505 and "Down" at 0.495 [1]. These are snapshot prices from the provider observation time, not executable quotes, and they should not be read as verified probabilities. The two prices sum to 1.00 in this snapshot, so the pair is internally consistent, but the sample does not show spreads, depth, or trading volume. Volume is not a measure of liquidity or of how many traders are involved, and the evidence does not include either.
The sample is complete for this event: the coverage record shows one total market, one included, and no partial sampling [1]. That completeness applies only to the saved event. It does not establish that every possible outcome is listed by the provider.
What remains uncertain
The timing of this snapshot is the main limitation. The observation was recorded at 2026-10-15T16:13:13.851Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-15T19:07:13.031Z [1]. The listed end time of 18:25 UTC has already passed relative to the retrieval time. The provider status recorded in the excerpt is "active" [1], but that status describes the saved snapshot and cannot confirm the market's status now. The evidence does not show the final TWAP, the starting price, or how the contract resolved.
The evidence also does not explain why the prices stand where they do, and this summary does not attempt to. Readers comparing this contract with similar XRP contracts on other platforms should check that the rules, windows, and resolution sources match before comparing prices, since a small difference in wording or timing can change what a contract measures.

Saved Oct 15, 2026 UTCOverview
This is a short-duration price contract on XRP, the cryptocurrency, listed on Polymarket under the title "XRP Up or Down - October 15, 2:20PM-2:25PM ET" [1]. The contract covers a five-minute window, and its outcome depends on whether a price measure for that window ends up at or above the price at the window's start. The listed end time is 2026-10-15T18:25:00Z, which corresponds to the 2:25PM ET close in the title [1]. The market resolves to "Up" if the time-weighted average price (TWAP) of XRP 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 contract therefore compares an averaged price across the window with the starting price, rather than comparing the price at the start and the end of the window alone [1]. The resolution source is Chainlink, specifically its XRP/USD TWAP data stream with a 60-second interval [1]. The contract states that only this Chainlink data stream counts for resolution, and that prices from other sources or spot markets do not [1]. Anyone reading the market should therefore look at that specific feed rather than general exchange prices when assessing how the outcome will be determined [1]. At the time the provider data was observed, the market was listed as active, with an "Up" price of 0.505 and a "Down" price of 0.495 [1]. These figures are a snapshot from that observation time. They are not executable quotes, and they should not be read as verified probabilities. Because the window is short and the two prices are close together, the snapshot shows little difference between the two outcomes at that moment [1].
Why It Matters
The contract measures whether the time-weighted average XRP/USD price over a five-minute window, as reported by a specific Chainlink data stream, is at or above the price at the start of that window [1]. Because it uses an averaged price rather than a single point, the outcome depends on the path of the price during the window and not only on its final level [1]. Traders who follow the contract need to understand that the resolution reference is this one data stream, not every XRP market, since the contract explicitly excludes other sources and spot markets [1].
