Analysis

5d ago

This market prices OpenAI's IPO at a $1.5T+ valuation with only 14% implied probability, offering a 360% risk-adjusted yield for "Yes" positions despite 624 days to expiry. The extreme 609% realized volatility and 3.33 vol ratio suggest significant uncertainty around both IPO timing and valuation, while the wide 25¢ spread and zero 24-hour volume indicate illiquidity that could mask true market sentiment. The high cliff risk index (6) reflects binary event risk, with resolution contingent on whether OpenAI goes public at all by year-end 2027—a prerequisite that itself carries substantial uncertainty given the company's current private status.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve based on OpenAI's market capitalization at the closing price on its first day of trading. If no IPO occurs by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "No IPO by December 31, 2027". Market capitalization expresses the monetary value of a company’s outstanding shares, stated in its pricing currency. It is calculated as the number of shares outstanding multiplied by the closing share price on the first trading day. If the relevant value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. Resolution will be based on the primary exchange’s official listing page. In the event that the relevant figure is not displayed, another reliable source will be used. In the event of an interruption in the course of the normal trading session on OpenAI’s first day of trading (e.g., a circuit breaker or half-day), the market will resolve according to the official closing price of the abbreviated session. If no such official closing price is published, the market will resolve according to the next trading day on which an official closing price is published, treating that as the first day of trading for purposes of this market.
