Polymarket prices 46% chance a state enacts a data center moratorium by end of 2026
Polymarket · x · 2026-09-21
A new Polymarket market on whether any U.S. state will enact a statewide data center moratorium by December 31, 2026 currently prices at 46% odds with $16k in volume. The market comes alongside the backdrop that U.S. data center and information-processing hardware spending now exceeds housing investment. A qualifying moratorium means state legislation pausing approval, permitting, construction, or grid connection of new data centers, resolved via official legislative trackers. The pricing signals substantial perceived risk of state-level regulatory backlash against data center expansion.
