One prediction market prices this story:
- Above $1.84 trillion — the market puts it at 94%, closing 5 Feb 2027. The market resolves to Yes if total U.S. student loans outstanding in the fourth quarter of 2026 exceed $1.84 trillion. The official source for this data is the Federal Reserve’s G.19 Consumer Credit release. Readers often mistake the headline date or other loan forgiveness announcements for the resolution criteria, but only the specific Fed report for that quarter counts.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
