Abstract from the paper:

SARS-CoV-2-related pangolin coronavirus GX_P2V(short_3UTR) can cause 100% mortality in human ACE2-transgenic mice, potentially attributable to late-stage brain infection. This underscores a spillover risk of GX_P2V into humans and provides a unique model for understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses.

This market will resolve to yes if, by 12/31/24, at least 1 human has been confirmed to have been infected with the mutated version of GX/2017, GX_P2V(short_3UTR).
