- What will the biggest earthquake be on Oct 31, 2026?
- Outcome
- Magnitude of at least 5.4
- Rules
If the highest USGS-reported earthquake magnitude worldwide during Oct 31, 2026 from 12:00:00 AM through 11:59:59 PM UTC is 5.4 or higher, then the market resolves to Yes.
- More rules
The determining value is the USGS-reported magnitude displayed at Expiration, preferentially moment magnitude (Mw) and otherwise the primary magnitude type reported by USGS. If multiple earthquakes tie for the highest magnitude, all tied earthquakes count. If USGS ComCat is unavailable at Expiration, settlement may be delayed under the Contract contingencies.

Saved in my first snapshot of every open market. Neither venue keeps older versions, so nothing before this exists.
