Which country will join Abraham Accords before 2027?

Platform comparison

Market context

The real-world event is whether another government formally signs a normalisation deal with Israel under the Abraham Accords framework before the deadline. The market’s low implied probability of **6%** fits a setting where formal accession is a high-bar diplomatic act, not just a public statement of interest: the resolution requires an officially acknowledged agreement, not speculation, contact, or a general thaw in relations.

Historically, the Abraham Accords have expanded only in limited bursts, beginning with the UAE, Bahrain and Morocco in 2020, with later entries such as Sudan and Kazakhstan often treated as part of the broader Accords universe in market and commentary settings.[4][8] That history matters because the baseline for adding a new signer is not a routine bilateral upgrade but a political decision that usually depends on US involvement, domestic legitimacy and wider regional conditions. Reuters reported in March 2025 that Donald Trump said more countries would be added and that Saudi Arabia remained a potential candidate, but also noted Saudi reservations linked to Gaza.[7]

For traders, the key catalysts are official announcements, signing ceremonies, and any public confirmation from both governments that the agreement is under the Abraham Accords umbrella. In practice, the market is also sensitive to Washington’s diplomacy, regional security developments and whether a country can clear internal political or legal hurdles before 31 December 2026. On access, German **GlüStV** rules can make offshore prediction markets legally sensitive for users in Germany, while the US **CFTC** has asserted broad reach over event-contract activity affecting US persons; “no-KYC up to $1,500” generally means small-scale access without identity checks until cumulative activity crosses that threshold, which may lower friction but does not remove jurisdictional restrictions.

FAQ

Is Polymarket legal in my country?

Polymarket is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Actual usage via the Polymarket interface is not possible there. The legal status itself varies — many countries treat prediction markets as a gray area. Is Kalshi Legit has a different geo footprint.

Do I need to KYC for Is Kalshi Legit?

Not for lifetime trading volume under $1,500. Above that threshold, a quick KYC flow kicks in — ID, selfie, approximately 5-10 minutes. The threshold matches FATF travel standards for unregulated crypto platforms.

How are winnings taxed?

Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction. In most countries, prediction market gains are treated as ordinary income or capital gains. We cannot provide tax advice — consult a tax professional for your specific situation.

Are prediction markets gambling?

Legally unclear in most jurisdictions. Some interpretations classify them as wagering (gambling regulation applies), others as derivatives (financial regulation applies). There's no global precedent specifically for on-chain prediction markets.

Is there a withdrawal cap?

No platform-side cap. You can withdraw any amount provided KYC is complete. SEPA bank withdrawals over €15,000 trigger additional anti-money-laundering checks (statutory obligation for all platforms).
