as per the Clay Mathematics Institute:

Prove or give a counter-example of the following statement:

In three space dimensions and time, given an initial velocity field, there exists a vector velocity and a scalar pressure field, which are both smooth and globally defined, that solve the Navier–Stokes equations.

This market resolves to YES if the Clay Mathematics Institute (or equivalent organization) agrees that the Navier-Stokes problem has been solved, whether that be proved or disproved as per above by the end of 2030.

Otherwise this market resolves to NO.

Complaint: what the Clay problem is asking is not "solving the equations". What is probably meant here: "will the problem of proving the existence of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations be solved?" or "will the Clay problem about the Navier-Stokes equations be solved?"

predicts NO

@Tasty_Y Fair, I wanted a simpler title but the actual question is whether a proof (for or against) will arise to consider the “problem” of the Navier-Stokes equations solved.

predicts NO

@Supermaxman I have modified the title to reflect the description.
