The rules clearly specify how market capitalization is calculated using the official closing price and outstanding share count on the company's first day of trading. The resolution window spans all of 2026, with objective primary sources defined via the listing exchange and official Federal Reserve exchange rates for non-dollar listings. Explicit fallback provisions govern trading halts, foreign exchange conversions, and alphabetical tie-breaks. Position holders should note the early resolution clause allowing individual candidates to resolve to negative early if an IPO becomes impossible due to merger or acquisition.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to the company that achieves the highest market capitalization in U.S. dollars based on the official closing price on its first trading day in 2026. This market will resolve to a company that completes an Initial Public Offering (IPO) between January 1 and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Market capitalization is defined as the total number of outstanding shares multiplied by the closing share price on the first trading day. If two or more companies have exactly equal highest closing market capitalizations, this market will resolve to the company whose listed name comes first alphabetically. Resolution will be based on the primary exchange’s official listing page. In the event that the relevant figure is not displayed, another reliable source will be used. In case the respective company's primary exchange’s official listing page does not report in U.S. dollars, it will be converted to U.S. dollars using the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s H.10 foreign exchange reference rate for the relevant currency pair on the company’s first trading day (https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h10/). If no such rate is available for the relevant trading day, the most recent previously published rate will be used. If the relevant currency is not listed, another credible exchange rate source will be used. A listed company may resolve to "No" as soon as it becomes unable to complete an IPO, including due to acquisition, merger, or absorption by an entity that is already publicly traded. In the event of an interruption in the course of the normal trading session on the respective companies’ first day of trading (e.g., a circuit breaker or half-day), the market will resolve according to the official closing price of the abbreviated session. If no such official closing price is published, the market will resolve according to the next trading day on which an official closing price is published, treating that as the first day of trading for purposes of this market.

Market explained
This market measures whether Stripe achieves the highest initial public offering (IPO) market capitalization among all companies completing an IPO in 2026, calculated from the closing share price on its first trading day. Ties are broken alphabetically.
How it resolves
The market resolves to Yes for Stripe if it completes an IPO in 2026 and achieves the highest first-day closing market capitalization in U.S. dollars among all 2026 IPOs. The market resolves to No if another company achieves a higher first-day closing market cap, if Stripe does not complete an IPO in 2026, or if Stripe becomes unable to IPO due to acquisition, merger, or absorption. If two companies tie for the highest market cap, the company that comes first alphabetically wins. If trading is interrupted on the first day, the abbreviated session closing price or next published closing price is used. Resolution is decided using the primary exchange's official listing page, converting foreign currencies via the U.S. Federal Reserve Board's H.10 reference rate.
