This market asks whether U.S. Bank will be officially deemed to have failed before the end of 2026. The deadline matters because the outcome depends on actions taken by regulators, courts, or resolution authorities up to December 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET, not on ordinary stock-price moves or short-term stress.
The market is about a specific bank identified only as “US Bank,” and the exact legal entity is important because resolution rules apply to the regulated institution itself. It resolves “Yes” if the bank is formally declared insolvent or non-viable, loses its banking authorization, enters liquidation or a statutory resolution process, or is taken over in a way that wipes out or subordinates existing equity and keeps operations going only through official intervention. It can also resolve “Yes” if the bank publicly defaults on a covered obligation and that default is formally recognized by the relevant regulator or resolution authority.
Banks can look stable day to day and still face rare but consequential failure scenarios tied to liquidity, solvency, legal action, or supervisory intervention. Readers may care because the market is pricing the chance that a U.S. banking institution reaches a formal failure event before the end of 2026, which is a much narrower question than whether the bank has any earnings pressure or balance-sheet stress. The disagreement here is not about routine financial performance; it is about whether conditions become severe enough to trigger a formal regulatory outcome.
The price can move if there are official regulatory filings, enforcement actions, capital orders, receivership or wind-down announcements, or court documents showing a resolution process. Public disclosures about missed payments, liquidity support, transfer of deposits or assets, or a change in the bank’s authorization status would also be highly relevant under the market rules. Because the definition includes formal recognition by a regulator or resolution authority, rumors or market volatility alone should matter less than concrete official action.

View marketThe current market price implies roughly a 7% chance for the leading outcome, based on live Polymarket pricing. That number is not a prediction from PredictionNinja and it is not a guarantee; it is the current crowd-priced view of the market and can change quickly when new information appears.
The key thing to verify is the exact identity of the listed bank, since the title says “US Bank” but the resolution depends on the specific institution and its primary regulator. Before the deadline, readers should look for official notices from the bank, its regulator, or any resolution authority that explicitly mention insolvency, non-viability, liquidation, bridge-bank action, license withdrawal, or a formal default tied to the rule language. The main ambiguity risk is whether a distress event is serious enough to count as a failure under the market’s definition, so the source of truth is the formal regulatory or court record, not headlines alone.

This market is currently listed with an end date of Dec 31, 2026. Market timelines can change if the underlying event is postponed, rescheduled, or resolved early.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if the listed bank fails between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” For the purposes of this market, the listed bank will be considered to have “failed” if any of the following occurs under the bank’s applicable legal or regulatory framework, within the listed date range: - The listed bank’s primary banking regulator formally declares the institution insolvent or non-viable, or withdraws or revokes the bank’s license or authorization, and such determination initiates or directly results in resolution, liquidation, wind-down, or transfer actions. - The listed bank enters a court-ordered liquidation, statutory resolution regime, or regulator-mandated wind-down, including the use of resolution tools such as bail-ins, forced asset transfers, or the establishment of a bridge bank. - A government or resolution authority intervenes in a manner that wipes out or subordinates existing equity of the listed bank and transfers effective control of the bank to the state or a designated resolution authority, with continued operations dependent on official intervention. - The listed bank publicly defaults on a payment obligation, including derivatives margin, repo, or physical commodity delivery, and such default is formally acknowledged by the bank’s primary regulator or resolution authority and directly results in the initiation of resolution, liquidation, license withdrawal, or regulator-mandated transfer of the bank. - The listed bank is subject to a compulsory merger, acquisition, or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets and liabilities ordered or directed by its primary banking regulator or resolution authority due to the bank’s financial condition or to prevent failure, regardless of whether a formal insolvency declaration or immediate equity wipeout is publicly announced at the time of transfer. If there is a potential failure of the listed bank within this market’s date range and a qualifying regulatory or court action has occurred but has not yet been fully published by the relevant authority, this market may remain open until April 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET to allow for confirmation. If no qualifying failure is confirmed by that date, this market will resolve to “No.” The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements, filings, or actions by the listed bank’s primary banking regulator or resolution authority; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Spread
The bid-ask spread is wider, so the headline probability may be less precise than it looks.
Recent movement

The current displayed probability is 7%, based on the latest normalized Polymarket data available to PredictionNinja.
The rules and resolution criteria are pulled from the market description provided by Polymarket when available.
