Polymarket new listing: "Trump $250 bill officially issued within the year"

The Odaily Seer Channel monitoring shows that Polymarket has listed a new prediction event: "Will the U.S. federal government officially issue a $250 bill featuring Donald Trump’s portrait before December 31, 2026?"

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed on May 28 that the official design for a $250 bill featuring President Trump’s portrait is ready, in anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. However, actual progress on the plan is currently blocked by stalled legislative procedures in Congress. According to H.R. 1761, introduced as early as February 2025, issuing this currency requires amending the Federal Reserve Act to authorize the new denomination and to waive the long-standing legal restriction prohibiting portraits of living individuals on U.S. currency. As the bill remains stuck in the House Financial Services Committee, with no substantial floor vote or progress in the Senate, the probability of completing legislation and printing the bill within the remainder of this year is low.
