Analysis

5d ago

The market is pricing Jon Bonck as an overwhelming favorite at 91¢, but the extreme 9,300% implied yield on the "No" side signals severe illiquidity and potential mispricing of tail risk—typical for low-volume markets with just $29.18 in 24-hour trading. The 2¢ price decline over seven days combined with a high cliff risk index of 10 and a neutral regime suggests uncertainty may be building despite the consensus pricing, particularly with the Republican primary just 7 months away and only $10.3M in open interest. This market warrants caution given the thin liquidity and the gap between the dominant Yes position and the theoretical value of a competitive primary race.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins the nomination for the Republican Party to contest the TX-38 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections.

The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of official Republican sources, including https://www.rnc.org/. Any replacement of the nominee before election day will not change the resolution of the market.
