The rules provide a specific timeframe and a tie-breaker rule for values falling on bracket boundaries. However, there is ambiguity around what programs qualify beyond a literal Gold Card, as any new pathway to legal residency or citizenship in exchange for payment or investment created after February 26, 2025, counts. Additionally, resolution relies on official administration announcements, but falls back to a consensus of credible reporting if official numbers are not published by the December 31 deadline, introducing subjective judgement.

Resolution rules
Donald Trump has announced a “Gold Card” plan to offer a pathway citizenship to citizenship in exchange for a $5m payment. This market will resolve according to the number of individuals who purchase a “Gold Card” between January 1 and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Any individual participating in a new program created after February 26, 2025, by the Trump Administration which is either referred to as a Gold Card, or involves a new pathway to U.S. citizenship, work permits, or any other form of legal residency status in exchange for payments or investment will qualify. If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. The resolution source will be official information from the Trump Administration. If the Trump Administration does not publish the number of individuals who receive Gold Cards by December 31, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting.
Market explained
This market measures whether between 2,500 and 5,000 individuals purchase a Trump Administration "Gold Card" (or equivalent residency/citizenship-for-payment program) during 2026.
How it resolves
The market resolves Yes if the total number of individuals purchasing a Gold Card between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET falls within the 2.5k to 5k bracket. Qualifying participants include anyone joining a new program created after February 26, 2025, by the Trump Administration that is either named a Gold Card or provides a pathway to legal residency, citizenship, or work permits for payments or investments. If a reported total falls exactly on the boundary between brackets, it resolves to the higher range. The market resolves No if the total falls outside this range. Resolution is determined by official information from the Trump Administration, or by a consensus of credible reporting if official data is not published by the deadline.
