**US maximum-pressure sanctions and fuel embargo since January 2026 have intensified Cuba’s economic and energy crisis, producing widespread blackouts, shortages, and a record number of localized protests through mid-2026.** The Trump administration’s measures, including secondary sanctions and designations targeting regime-linked entities and officials, aim to extract political concessions rather than trigger immediate collapse. Cuban leadership under Miguel Díaz-Canel has responded with limited economic reforms approved in June, public rhetoric of resistance, and continued repression of dissent, while the security apparatus and elite cohesion have prevented protests from scaling into regime-threatening events. Analysts note the regime’s institutional resilience and capacity for managed deterioration, with US attention also diverted by other priorities. These factors underpin trader expectations that the regime will not fall in 2026 despite acute pressures.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) ceases to exercise de facto governing control over Cuba by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
A “Yes” resolution requires a clear and widely reported break from the PCC’s historical control over the government of Cuba. This may include events such as the overthrow or dissolution of the PCC and its replacement by a new government or transitional authority, the constitutional removal of the PCC’s status as the sole ruling party followed by a transfer of governing power to a different political entity, or the holding of multi-party national elections that result in a government not controlled by the PCC. A “Yes” resolution does not require the formal dissolution of the PCC, provided the PCC no longer exercises de facto governing control over Cuba.
Leadership changes within the PCC, including replacement of the First Secretary, or governmental reforms that preserve the PCC’s de facto governing control over Cuba, will not suffice. Partial loss of territory, civil unrest, or challenges by rebel or exile groups will not qualify unless the PCC no longer administers the majority of the Cuban population within Cuba.
The primary resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
