Congress veto override by 2027 at 10¢ is a structural underpricing — buy
L1 prices a Congressional veto override before 2027 at 10¢ with a 2,520% implied yield — the highest IY in the legislative catalyst set by a factor of 23x over L2. L2 (override ever) sits at 28¢ with 107% IY, implying the market thinks an override is plausible eventually but not before 2027. The 18-cent gap between L2 (28¢) and L1 (10¢) for a near-term vs. long-term version of the same event suggests the near-term contract is over-discounted. At 2,520% IY on an 8-day resolution equivalent basis, even a small probability shift delivers outsized returns.
The 2026 Senate control market sits at 52¢ Republican vs 48¢ Democrat — a statistical coin flip — while the House is priced at 84¢ for Democratic control. Key state races like Georgia (D 92¢) and Michigan (D 62¢) show strong Democratic tailwinds that have not fully fed through to the national Senate control contract. The divergence between state-level implied probabilities and the national control contract is the structural edge, compounded by a highly liquid market where regime shifts are detectable.
