Important information: Appearing before a congressional committee and invoking the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in response to questions does not constitute having "testified in front of Congress" for the purposes of this market. Invoking the Fifth Amendment is a refusal to testify, not testimony itself.

Market Rules
In-person, remote, and/or virtual testimony during an official hearing or deposition of the House or Senate (including committees, subcommittees, and joint committees) qualifies. Testifying in a closed-door session also qualifies.
Submitting written testimony without appearing live does not qualify. Statements made outside of an official committee hearing, such as informal briefings, media events on Capitol grounds, or personal statements to individual members of Congress, do not satisfy the criterion.
Clarification (2/6/26): A person will be considered to have “testified in front of Congress” if they provide live testimony in an official House or Senate committee proceeding, including a committee deposition, whether held in a public hearing or a closed-door session, so long as the person appears live (in-person or remotely) and provides testimony under committee authority.
