Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to “Yes” if the governing coalition consisting of CDU/CSU and SPD breaks by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM CET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” For the purposes of this market, the coalition is considered broken if either CDU/CSU or SPD ceases to be a coalition partner in the federal government. A coalition break may be evidenced by: – a formal withdrawal from the coalition, – the resignation or dismissal of all ministers from one party, – or the appointment of a new federal government.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.
Market outcomes
| Will CDU/CSU–SPD German federal coalition break before 2027? | 19% YES | 82% NO |
Germany's CDU/CSU and SPD formed a grand coalition government following the February 2025 federal election, with Friedrich Merz as Chancellor. The market assesses the probability that this partnership dissolves before the end of 2026, with traders currently pricing a 19% chance of breakdown. The coalition commands a substantial parliamentary majority and both parties have historical experience governing together, having formed grand coalitions in 2013–2017 and 2018–2021. Those previous partnerships proved durable despite policy tensions, suggesting structural stability in such arrangements. However, grand coalitions face inherent fragility when governing becomes unpopular or when junior partners fear electoral damage from association with unpopular policies.
Key catalysts for coalition rupture centre on economic performance and fiscal policy. Germany faces persistent weakness in manufacturing and structural headwinds that could intensify pressure for divergent responses—the SPD typically favours stimulus spending whilst CDU/CSU emphasises fiscal discipline. Disagreements over pension reform, energy policy, or labour market regulation could trigger ministerial resignations or formal withdrawal. The 2026 budget cycle and any significant deterioration in growth forecasts would test cohesion. Additionally, state-level election results, particularly in eastern Germany where far-right parties have gained ground, may shift political dynamics and create pressure for repositioning ahead of the 2029 federal election. Current order book pricing reflects these risks as modest but material.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
