Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States commences a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of Colombian land territory by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, land de facto controlled by Colombia or the United States, as of market creation, will be considered the sovereign territory of that country. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
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 the U.S. invade Colombia in 2026? | 7% YES | 93% NO |
The question concerns whether the United States would launch a military invasion of Colombia to seize control of Colombian territory by the end of 2026. Currently, Polymarket's order book implies a 7% probability of such an invasion occurring within this timeframe. This represents a low but non-negligible tail risk assessment from traders.
Historical precedent suggests extremely low likelihood of direct US military intervention in Colombia proper. The two nations maintain a formal alliance through NATO-equivalent arrangements and bilateral defence agreements. The US has conducted counter-narcotics operations and military advisory missions in Colombia for decades without escalating to territorial invasion. Even during periods of heightened drug trafficking and internal conflict, American policy has favoured support for Colombian security forces rather than direct military takeover. The only comparable recent scenario—US intervention in Latin America—occurred in 2019 with Venezuela, where military action was contemplated but never executed despite significant political pressure.
Catalysts that could shift this probability include a major breakdown in US-Colombia relations, a significant terrorist attack traced to Colombian territory, or a dramatic destabilisation of the Colombian state. Currently, the bilateral relationship remains stable, with Colombia hosting US military personnel under existing agreements. Any shift would likely require either a severe geopolitical realignment or an extraordinary security incident. Traders should monitor statements from the US State Department and Pentagon regarding Colombia, as well as developments in Colombian domestic politics and security conditions. The probability's current level reflects the baseline assumption that existing diplomatic and military cooperation frameworks will persist through 2026.
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.
The mechanics for trading "Will the U.S. invade Colombia in 2026?" are the same as any other PolyGram political event contract.

The market has been open for 4 months — the price has had time to stabilise as new information arrived.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
