• Hungary — the market puts it at 8%, closing 1 Jan 2030. The market resolves to Yes if Hungary officially votes to leave the European Union before January 1, 2030. The outcome depends solely on a formal legislative vote by Hungary, not on political statements or news reports about corruption probes.
• Hungary — the market puts it at 5%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump physically travels to and is present within Hungary between now and January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if he does not meet this condition by that deadline. Readers often mistake the linked story about Hungarian politics for the trigger, but only Trump's physical presence matters.

The outcome is No if that meeting does not happen by that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Hungarian immunity laws for the actual event required to resolve the market.
