3 prediction markets price this story:

• Will Nicolás Maduro be sentenced to no prison time? — the market puts it at 59%, with $4k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. The "Yes" outcome occurs if Maduro receives no jail or prison time in his first sentencing for this specific indictment by December 31, 2027. The "No" outcome happens if he is sentenced to any period of incarceration for these charges before that deadline. Readers often mistake the resolution source, but only official U.S. court records or credible consensus reporting count, not general news speculation.
• Will Nicolás Maduro be the leader of Venezuela end of 2026? — the market puts it at 71%, with $4k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves based on who officially holds the position of head of state in Venezuela at 12 PM ET on December 31, 2026. Readers often mistake a person’s appointment date or media reports for the actual moment they assume power, but only confirmed, sworn-in leaders count. If the Venezuelan government does not clearly identify its head of state, the United Nations list serves as the final authority.
• Nicolás Maduro — the market puts it at 6%, closing 2 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Nicolás Maduro is the de facto head of state of Venezuela at the end of 2026. It resolves to No if he does not hold that position by that date. Readers often mistake the date of the linked news story for the resolution deadline.
