This market will resolve to "Yes" if a U.S. bank with total assets exceeding $50 billion as of November 11, 2025 (see:https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/lbr/current/), is bailed out by the U.S. federal government by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to “No”. A bailout is defined as any of these actions in direct response to directly related to solvency, liquidity, or capital adequacy concerns. -Establishing a Federal Reserve emergency lending facility -Creating an FDIC-assisted resolution or bridge bank -A U.S. Treasury capital injection -A publicly disclosed, regulatory-facilitated acquisition An official announcement from the U.S. government that they are taking any of these actions will qualify regardless of if/when the action occurs. Routine access to standing facilities (such as the discount window or BTFP) or participation in stress tests, capital raises, or ordinary supervision will not on their own qualify. If a bank experiences distress but is acquired privately without public intervention or coordination, this will not qualify.Major U.S. banks demonstrated resilience in the Federal Reserve’s June 2026 stress test, absorbing a hypothetical $708 billion in losses while keeping aggregate common equity Tier 1 ratios above minimums at 11.2%. Only five small institutions failed year-to-date, each resolved through standard FDIC processes without systemic intervention or taxpayer support. The problem bank list stands at just 52 lenders holding $66 billion in assets, and the Deposit Insurance Fund has grown to $161 billion. Ongoing capital rule adjustments and a regulatory focus on material financial risks further support stability through year-end. A sudden severe downturn hitting commercial real estate or credit card portfolios could still trigger distress at a large institution, though current capital buffers and short timeline to 2027 limit that probability.
