Trader consensus on Polymarket prices an 89.5% implied probability against OPEC dissolving in 2026, reflecting resilience amid the UAE's shock announcement on April 28 to exit the cartel and OPEC+ effective May 1 for greater production flexibility. Despite heightened speculation of a breakup—fueled by ongoing Strait of Hormuz disruptions and Iran tensions—core members including Saudi Arabia and Russia have reaffirmed coordination through recent Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee meetings, approving a 206,000 barrels-per-day output hike for May to support market stability. No further exits have materialized, and scheduled OPEC+ gatherings on May 3 underscore institutional continuity, tempering fears of outright dissolution before year-end. Geopolitical volatility persists as a tail risk, but skin-in-the-game bets favor persistence.

OPEC dissolves in 2026?
OPEC will be considered dissolved if any of the following conditions are met:
- More than half of the OPEC member states, as of market creation and excluding the United Arab Emirates, officially withdraw from OPEC.
- An official agreement amongst the OPEC member states is adopted which dissolves, disbands, terminates, or otherwise formally ends OPEC.
- OPEC otherwise ceases to exist as an intergovernmental organization or legal entity.
An OPEC member state will be considered to have withdrawn once it officially announces its withdrawal from OPEC, or otherwise formally initiates withdrawal under applicable OPEC procedure, regardless of whether the withdrawal takes effect after this market’s timeframe. Withdrawals from OPEC+ will not alone be considered withdrawals from OPEC.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from OPEC and OPEC member states; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
