One prediction market prices this story:
- $45 trillion — the market puts it at 86%, with $34 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Mar 2029. The market resolves to Yes if the U.S. federal debt reaches $45 trillion during any quarter from Q4 2024 through Q4 2028. It resolves to No if that threshold is not met within this specific timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked story about critical minerals loans as relevant, but only the total federal debt level matters for resolution.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
