Will Maduro remain president through 2026?
Regime-continuity market — the anchor contract
Politics Prediction Markets
Does Maduro hold power? Does the US escalate? Prediction markets price Venezuela’s 2026 political and geopolitical outcomes as binary contracts on Polymarket and Kalshi — and because the country sits on the world’s largest oil reserves, these contracts double as energy-risk gauges. Mantis shows the sharpest cross-venue line in one search.

Political-transition pathway
US sanctions policy and oil-license decisions are the biggest levers on regime continuity. Each announcement reprices the Maduro market — and ripples into oil.
The US-military-action contract is a tail-risk gauge. It spikes on naval deployments, interdiction operations, and hostile rhetoric — watch it as an oil-supply early warning.
Opposition dynamics and any negotiated path to elections drive the new-election market. These are lower-probability but high-impact outcomes.

As of mid-2026, prediction markets price Nicolás Maduro remaining president through 2026 at roughly 57–60% on Polymarket, US military action against Venezuela near 17–20%, and a new presidential election around 15–18%. These geopolitics markets move sharply on sanctions, diplomatic, and military headlines — Mantis shows the live cross-venue spread.
Venezuela sits on the world’s largest proven oil reserves, so escalation or regime change has direct energy-market implications. The US-military-action and Maduro-continuity contracts are read as oil-supply risk gauges as much as political bets — which is why they draw cross-asset attention. Mantis lets you watch them alongside the oil hub.
Polymarket and Kalshi both list Venezuela political and geopolitical outcomes as binary contracts. Polymarket carries deeper liquidity on the headline Maduro and US-action markets. Mantis queries both venues in real time and routes you to the best price with referral codes intact.
Each resolves on an objective event — whether Maduro is the sitting president at the cutoff, whether a direct US military action occurred, or whether a new presidential election was held — per verified international reporting and official confirmations, following each market’s rules. Ambiguity in those definitions between venues is where cross-venue gaps appear.
