Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Up" if the XRP price at the end of the time range specified in the title is greater than or equal to the price at the beginning of that range. Otherwise, it will resolve to "Down". The resolution source for this market is information from Chainlink, specifically the XRP/USD data stream available at https://data.chain.link/streams/xrp-usd. Please note that this market is about the price according to Chainlink data stream XRP/USD, not according to other sources or spot markets.
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
| XRP Up or Down - May 4, 5:45PM-5:50PM ET | 100% YES | 0% NO |
This market tracks whether the XRP/USD price on Chainlink's data stream will be higher or equal at 5:50PM ET on 4 May 2026 compared to 5:45PM ET that same day. The five-minute window captures intraday volatility in one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation. Settlement relies exclusively on Chainlink's XRP/USD feed rather than spot exchange prices, which can diverge slightly due to oracle aggregation methodology.
The 100% implied probability on Polymarket's order book reflects extreme confidence in an upward or flat five-minute move. Such certainty in short-duration crypto price movements is uncommon and typically signals either thin liquidity in the order book or a structural imbalance where traders perceive minimal downside risk in a five-minute window. Historical precedent shows that five-minute XRP price movements rarely trend decisively in either direction; most such intervals close within 0.1–0.3% of opening prices. The current probability may reflect limited order depth rather than genuine conviction about directional movement.
Traders should monitor XRP's broader market conditions in the hours preceding the settlement window, including Bitcoin's price action—which typically anchors altcoin momentum—and any regulatory announcements affecting Ripple or stablecoin liquidity. No scheduled events or corporate announcements are currently flagged for 4 May 2026. The five-minute resolution window minimises exposure to overnight news flow, making this contract primarily sensitive to intraday technical positioning and order flow rather than fundamental catalysts.
This market settles from the official outcome published at https://data.chain.link/streams/xrp-usd. A proposer submits the final result to the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon; the two-hour dispute window closes and payouts clear in USDC.
The mechanics for trading "XRP Up or Down - May 4, 5:45PM-5:50PM ET" are the same as any other PolyGram 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.
$2K in lifetime turnover and $0 of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for crypto prices contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
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 100%. The number updates continuously as the order book clears. PolyGram mirrors the same live odds with locale-aware formatting and USDC settlement.

Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.
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.
