Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Yes" if President of the United States Donald Trump announces he has resigned or will resign the presidency by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." If it becomes impossible for Donald Trump to resign or to announce his resignation (e.g., due to his removal from office by other means, etc.), this market will immediately resolve to "No." For this market to resolve to "Yes," it is only necessary that Trump announce that he has resigned or will resign. Whether he actually resigns will have no bearing on the resolution of this market.
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 Trump resign before 2027? | 7% YES | 94% NO |
Donald Trump would need to publicly announce his resignation from the presidency before the end of 2026 for this market to resolve affirmatively. The market's current 9% implied probability reflects the base rate of sitting US presidents resigning voluntarily. Only Richard Nixon resigned in office, doing so in August 1974 under imminent threat of impeachment and removal. No other president has voluntarily stepped down mid-term, though health crises, scandals, and political pressure have occasionally prompted speculation. The rarity of resignation as a political exit means historical precedent offers limited guidance; markets typically price such outcomes low unless specific triggering events emerge.
Traders should monitor developments around Trump's legal exposure, including ongoing civil litigation and potential criminal proceedings that could create pressure for exit. His stated health status and any major medical events would warrant attention, as would significant shifts in Republican Party support or polling that might alter his political calculus. The 2026 midterm elections in November could reshape congressional dynamics and party dynamics substantially. Recent reporting on Trump's 2024 transition planning suggests he intends to serve a full term, though unexpected developments—particularly related to his legal cases or party fractures—could alter that trajectory.
The order book on Polymarket currently prices resignation as a low-probability tail event. Traders entering positions should consider whether they believe the base rate of 9% adequately reflects the specific risks facing this presidency through end-2026, or whether catalysts justify different odds.
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 Trump resign before 2027?" are the same as any other PolyGram political event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.
$17K in lifetime turnover and $11K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for politics contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
Last 24 hours alone saw $38 in turnover, consistent with the market's lifetime daily-average pace.
The market has been open for 6 months — long enough that the order book is mature and price is well-anchored to fundamentals.
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.
As of today, traders on Polymarket price this outcome at 7%. The number updates continuously as the order book clears. PolyGram mirrors the same live odds with locale-aware formatting and USDC settlement.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a 2-hour dispute window opens, and if uncontested the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token holders.
This prediction market is scheduled to close on 31 December 2026. After the resolving event occurs, settlement typically clears within 24 hours once the UMA optimistic oracle confirms the outcome. All payouts are in USDC on the Polygon network.

Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
