The expiration of the New START treaty on February 5, 2026, removed the last legally binding limits and verification regime on U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear forces, shifting focus to prospects for a successor bilateral or trilateral agreement. The Trump administration has prioritized negotiations toward a “modernized” pact that could incorporate China and broader limits on warheads, while Russia has signaled openness to informal compliance with prior numerical caps alongside new talks. Diplomatic channels remain active but face structural hurdles, including verification disputes, missile defense concerns, and differing views on scope. No major announcements or breakthroughs have occurred in the past several months, leaving trader assessments anchored in the pace of expert-level discussions and any scheduled high-level engagements within the market’s resolution window.

Only agreements that are publicly announced and acknowledged by both the U.S. and Russia will qualify. The agreement must pertain to nuclear arms control or limitation—such as a treaty, framework, or memorandum—addressing matters including (but not limited to) nuclear warheads, delivery systems, verification mechanisms, or strategic stability.
An extension, amendment, or replacement of the New START treaty will qualify, provided it is publicly announced as a concluded agreement by both parties within the time frame. Exploratory discussions or stated intent to extend without a finalized agreement will not qualify.
Agreements that include both the United States and Russia as named parties—whether bilateral or as part of a broader multilateral framework—will qualify, provided the agreement directly addresses nuclear arms control.
The agreement does not need to be ratified or implemented for this market to resolve "Yes"; a formal announcement of a concluded agreement is sufficient.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from the U.S. government (e.g., the White House, State Department) and/or the Russian Federation (e.g., the Kremlin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs). However, a clear and overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming that such an agreement has been reached will also qualify.
