Polymarket has added a new item: "Trump's $250 bill to be officially released this year."

Odaily Seer's monitoring shows that Polymarket has added a new prediction event: "Will the US federal government officially issue a $250 bill featuring Trump's portrait before December 31, 2026?" US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed on May 28 that, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the government has prepared a design for a $250 bill featuring President Trump's portrait. However, the actual progress of this plan is currently hampered by the stalled legislative process in Congress. According to HR 1761, which was proposed as early as February 2025, issuing this currency requires amending the Federal Reserve Act to authorize the new denomination and exempt it from the long-standing legal restriction prohibiting the printing of portraits of living persons on US dollars. Since the bill is currently stuck in the House Financial Services Committee and has not yet reached a full House vote or made progress in the Senate, the probability of completing legislation and printing and issuing the bill in the remainder of this year is low. Odaily Seer continues to monitor the prediction market, seeing changes before pricing.
