What is the “Will the next Pope be given another name?” market asking?
It asks whether the following will happen: Will the next Pope be given another name? It is one of the markets in the Polymarket event “What will be the next Pope's papal name?”. Traders buy Yes shares if they think it will and No shares if they think it will not.
What do the Yes and No prices mean?
At the last observation Yes traded at 0.0¢ and No at 100.0¢. A Yes share pays $1 if the market resolves Yes, so its price is the market's implied probability: 0.0% for Yes and 100.0% for No. The two prices add up to about one dollar.
When does this market close?
Trading is scheduled to close on Dec 31, 2025 UTC. After the close no new trades are accepted and the outcome is settled by the resolution source.
How does this market resolve?
This market will resolve according to the official papal name chosen by the next Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Only names that exactly match the listed option will qualify. Compound names will not count for the single name (e.g. "John Paul" would not count for “John”). If no new pope is elected by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No." The primary resolution source for this market will be the official announcement from the Catholic Church, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
