Methodology
This page reviews Houthis successfully target shipping on 2026? across five venues. The live probability is the Polymarket mid-price, sourced directly from the on-chain Polygon order book; the comparison columns benchmark each venue on fee structure, KYC, settlement currency and payment rails.

Resolution & payout
