If the U.S. Department of the Treasury sends any funds or assets via a blockchain after Issuance and before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes. For purposes of this Contract, "Treasury" includes sub-bodies of the Treasury including the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, the Office of Financial Research, or a Treasury-authorized entity conducting a public transaction. The Payout Criterion includes central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), stablecoins, tokenized U.S. government securities, and other assets the Treasury formally recognizes as blockchain-based. The transaction must occur on a blockchain network that allows for public verification or is explicitly referred to by Treasury as blockchain-based. The following will trigger the Payout Criterion: - If Treasury orders a blockchain-based disbursement, but the Federal Reserve executes it as its fiscal agent, then the market resolves to Yes. - Smart contract executions will trigger the Payout Criterion only if Treasury initiated them. - If a Treasury-affiliated entity (e.g., the Federal Reserve) sends funds on Treasury's behalf, the Treasury must explicitly confirm its role for the transaction to trigger the Payout Criterion. The following will **NOT** trigger the Payout Criterion: - Test transactions, simulated value, and transactions on test networks will **NOT** trigger the Payout Criterion. - If Treasury explicitly labels a transaction as a "test," "experiment," or "pilot," it will **NOT** trigger the Payout Criterion. - Transactions settled via third-party custodians do **NOT** trigger the Payout Criterion unless explicitly acknowledged as a Treasury transaction. This market will close and expire early if the event occurs.
