This market asks whether Wells Fargo, one of the largest U.S. banks, will be formally determined to have failed by the end of 2026. Because the word “failed” is defined here in a specific legal and regulatory way, the key issue is not ordinary business stress or a bad quarter, but a serious supervisory or resolution event. That makes it worth watching alongside bank regulation, capital strength, and any official actions that could affect a major bank’s status.
The question is whether Wells Fargo will be considered to have “failed” at any point from market creation through December 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET. Under the market rules, that means a formal insolvency or non-viability finding by the bank’s primary regulator, a revoked banking license, a court-ordered liquidation, a statutory resolution or wind-down, or an official intervention that wipes out or subordinates equity and places control with the state or a resolution authority. It also includes certain acknowledged payment defaults, such as on derivatives margin or repo obligations, if they are formally recognized by the regulator or resolution authority.
Wells Fargo is a major U.S. banking franchise, so a true failure would be a consequential event rather than a routine earnings miss or stock-price decline. The market exists because there is always some uncertainty around large banks’ balance sheets, regulatory scrutiny, and the possibility of an extreme intervention, even if such outcomes are usually uncommon. Traders are effectively weighing the chance of a severe official resolution event against the bank’s ordinary operating resilience over the rest of 2026.
Price movement is most likely if there is an official regulatory development involving Wells Fargo, such as a consent order escalation, a license or charter action, a resolution announcement, or a statement from the bank’s primary regulator about insolvency or non-viability. Material changes in capital, liquidity, or payment obligations could also matter if they are tied to a formal default or forced wind-down under the market’s rules. By contrast, standard earnings, guidance updates, or share-price swings may matter only indirectly unless they point to something that fits the market’s failure definition.

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 most important thing to verify is the market’s source of truth: whether any relevant event is formally acknowledged by Wells Fargo’s primary regulator or resolution authority, and whether that event falls inside the date window ending December 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET. Readers should pay close attention to the exact legal form of any action, because the market does not resolve on rumors, weak capitalization, or market stress alone. If anything unusual happens, the key ambiguity will be whether it amounts to a regulator-declared failure, a statutory resolution, a forced transfer of control, or some other qualifying event under the written rules.

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.
