Market outcomes
| Fed abolished before 2027? | 4% YES | 96% NO |
Formal abolition of the Federal Reserve System would require an act of Congress repealing the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The Fed operates as an independent agency within the executive branch with a 14-year term structure for governors, making institutional continuity a structural feature of US monetary policy. No serious legislative effort to abolish the Fed has advanced beyond rhetorical stages in modern history, though periodic calls for reform or replacement have emerged across political cycles.
The 6% implied probability on Polymarket's order book reflects the extreme institutional and political barriers to such action. Historical precedent offers limited guidance—the Fed has survived multiple financial crises, wars, and significant political opposition since its founding. Even during the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent populist movements, abolition remained a fringe proposal. The current probability incorporates the low likelihood of a unified congressional supermajority prioritising Fed abolition over competing legislative agendas within the 24-month window.
Traders should monitor statements from incoming administrations regarding Federal Reserve independence and monetary policy oversight. The 2024 presidential transition and any subsequent congressional composition shifts represent the primary catalysts. Specific triggers would include formal legislative proposals with committee advancement or executive branch statements explicitly targeting Fed dissolution. The settlement deadline of 31 December 2026 means the market resolves based on whether formal abolition occurs within roughly two years—a compressed timeframe for constitutional-level institutional change.
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.

$4K in lifetime turnover and $12K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for economy contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is modest — expect a couple of cents of slippage on $1k+ trades.
