The US Dollar to Japanese Yen exchange rate is set to be determined on August 20, 2026. According to Robinhood's contract terms, the last trade time for this market will be 7:10 AM CT. The foreign exchange rate of the US Dollar against the Japanese Yen as reported by the ECB will be used to determine the outcome.

The contract resolves in a binary format, meaning that it pays out if the USD/JPY exchange rate is above or below certain thresholds at the designated time. The thresholds are over 159.250¢, over 159.50¢, and over 157.5¢. If the prediction is correct, traders will receive $1 for every contract they own.
