Polymarket puts only 16% odds on an AI bubble burst by year-end

Polymarket · x · 2026-09-16

Polymarket's 'AI bubble burst' market has drawn over $2.95M in volume, with only a 16% implied probability of a downturn by year-end.

The market has unusually concrete resolution criteria: it pays out 'Yes' if at least three of the following occur within 90 days — NVDA down 50% from all-time high, SOXX down 40%, OpenAI or Anthropic declaring bankruptcy, OpenAI being acquired, H100 rental prices at $1.00 or below for five consecutive days (per the SiliconData Silicon Index), or TSMC/ASML/Broadcom/Arista/Supermicro down 50% from highs.
