9.0 or above earthquake before 2027?

Traders currently price "No" at 94% for "9.0 or above earthquake before 2027?". The market has traded $273K in total volume and resolves Dec 31, 2026. Historical records show magnitude 9.0+ earthquakes occur roughly once or twice per century globally, with the most recent confirmed event being the 2011 Tohoku quake and none since despite ongoing monitoring by the USGS. No anomalous seismic signals or precursors currently point to an imminent megathrust rupture on major subduction zones. This base rate, combined with the brief window remaining before 2027, underpins trader consensus favoring No at 94.3% implied probability. A sudden full-margin failure along faults such as Cascadia or southern Chile could still produce such an event, though model consensus and current strain data indicate low near-term likelihood.
