The market resolves to Yes if the US government agrees to or announces a substantive federal action stemming from its Smithsonian pressure campaign before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news headline for the resolution trigger, but only an official US agreement or announcement counts.
