3 prediction markets price this story:

• Will the US acquire part of Greenland in 2026? — the market puts it at 2%, with $6k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the United States acquires sovereignty or exclusive control over any part of Greenland by December 31, 2026. This requires a binding legal instrument that transfers formal authority, not just security agreements or access rights. Readers often mistake non-binding deals or temporary permissions for actual acquisition.
• Before January 21, 2029 — the market puts it at 22%, with $4k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 21 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if the United States acquires any part of Greenland before January 21, 2029. It resolves to No if that event does not happen by the deadline. Readers often mistake the signing of a security deal for an acquisition, but only actual ownership counts.
• Greenland — the market puts it at 1%, with $1k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 20 Jan 2029. Greenland becomes a U.S. state if it joins the Union as the 51st state before January 20, 2029. The market resolves to Yes if this happens and No otherwise. Readers often mistake diplomatic visits or security discussions for actual statehood.
