Market timeline

The market launched on October 28, according to Polymarket. It is scheduled to resolve on or around November 8.

The supplied summary contains no observed transit count or detailed settlement criteria. The prices therefore describe the market’s expectations, not a confirmed tally of ships passing through the strait.

What it means for prediction markets

  • A narrow lead: The 190 to 209 range is the most likely individual outcome by price, but its 49 percent probability remains below half.
  • The threshold matters: The competing 210-or-more outcome sits at 44 percent, placing the dividing line between 209 and 210 transits at the center of the two leading scenarios.
  • Resolution is approaching: Settlement is expected on or around November 8; the supplied material does not specify the counting source or exact cutoff.
