Proposals have been made to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America," but no official changes have been approved. One proposal suggests displaying both names, while another proposes renaming the body of water entirely. Some platforms create a futures contract on this issue, which would resolve if Google Maps displays "Gulf of America" instead of "Gulf of Mexico" before January 1, 2026, and must be visible to all users worldwide. However, others have proposed a shorter timeline of March 1, 2025. The change would need to be made on the main website or mobile app for the market to resolve YES.
