A non-SpaceX booster which has been recovered after an orbital launch must fly a second orbital mission before Jan 1, 2025, for this market to resolve YES. Candidate vehicles for such a mission may include Electron or New Glenn.

X37B is in flight launched Dec 2023 but launched on falcon Heavy (or previously F9 or Atlas a non reuseable rocket) so I don't think it counts as a booster.

Electron has reflown an engine and a tank i.e parts but not yet a full booster.

New Shepard suborbital only

Other spacecraft only partial reuse
WhiteKnight, White Knight Two not rockets and rockets on them are only suborbital
Nothing else indicated in

So I think this should resolve no.
@eccentricity looks inactive so @mods can you resolve please? Thanks
Not re-using it yet, but seems like only a matter of time:
