Ohio enact a data center moratorium by December 31, 2027 priced at 27.5% on Polymarket, up 7.0 points, on $151K traded

Polymarket traders priced the prospect of Ohio enacting a data center moratorium by December 31, 2027 at 27.5%, an increase of 7.0 probability points over 24 hours, with $151K traded. According to PredictionBubbles’ Oct. 28, 15:09 UTC movers-board summary, the contract was among the upward moves in its political category.

The repricing raised the market’s assessment of a moratorium, but the quoted probability remained below 50%. The supplied material does not identify an Ohio policy announcement, legislative development or other specific catalyst for the change.

Reading the move

According to PredictionBubbles, its movers board compares prices from Polymarket and Kalshi over a 24-hour window and refreshes every 15 minutes. Rankings depend on the size of the probability-point change, rather than the relative percentage gain; trading volume and liquidity provide context but do not determine placement.

The supplied page carries a later snapshot timestamp of 28 Oct 2026, 15:40 UTC. That snapshot covers 2,004 markets with durations longer than 14 days, with its main table displaying 150 of the 508 markets that moved at least one probability point. The supplied page text does not separately reproduce the Ohio contract’s figures, so the quoted price, move and volume should not be treated as a verified update from that later snapshot.

What the available evidence establishes

The $151K traded figure adds context to the Ohio contract’s price change, but the supplied material does not establish its order-book depth or explain which trades drove the move. PredictionBubbles notes that repricing can reflect news, orders in thin markets or traders responding to one another; none of those explanations is confirmed here.

The contract’s stated deadline is December 31, 2027. The material does not include its detailed resolution criteria, leaving the precise requirements for a qualifying Ohio data center moratorium unspecified.

What it means for prediction markets

• A higher price, not a confirmed policy shift: The 7.0-point rise records a change in traders’ assessment, not evidence that Ohio has enacted or advanced a moratorium.
• Snapshot timing matters: The Ohio figures accompany the earlier summary; the later board timestamp does not independently confirm them.
• Volume is only part of the context: $151K traded does not, on its own, establish liquidity or the durability of the move.
• Resolution terms remain important: The deadline is clear, but the supplied material does not define what action would satisfy the contract.
