FAQs

What are the odds that Strait of Hormuz ship transits hit these levels?

The live Polymarket odds show how traders price each threshold separately, from 20 ships on the low end to 80 ships on the high end. Higher thresholds generally imply a more extreme daily transit count and may trade at lower probabilities.

What is the smart money doing on this Hormuz transit market?

Recent PolySpotter alerts show multiple sharp bettors buying “No,” including high win-rate traders and a profitable contrarian macro bettor. That suggests some experienced traders are skeptical that the listed transit thresholds will be reached by the resolution date.

How does this Strait of Hormuz prediction market resolve?

The markets resolve based on IMF Portwatch data for daily “Arrivals of Ships” through the Strait of Hormuz. If the reported daily transit count equals or exceeds a listed threshold on any eligible date through April 30, 2026, that child market resolves “Yes”; otherwise it resolves “No.”

Why are traders watching Strait of Hormuz ship transits?

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical passage for global energy shipping, so changes in transit activity can reflect geopolitical risk, oil market stress, or regional disruptions involving Iran and surrounding states.

Is this one market or several related markets?

This is an event hub covering four related Polymarket markets: whether 20, 40, 60, or 80 ships transit the Strait of Hormuz on any day by April 30. Each threshold has its own odds and resolution outcome.
