Analysis
The Yes position trades at an extreme 16,300% implied yield with only 14¢ pricing, suggesting either severe undervaluation or deep skepticism about achieving 60+ daily transits by April 30, 2026. The 667% realized volatility and modest 24-hour volume of $2.2K indicate thin liquidity and high uncertainty, with the market having drifted up just 2¢ over seven days despite the enormous yield differential. With 14 days to resolution and a Cliff Risk Index of 6, this appears to be a speculative position on a geopolitical/shipping threshold where the market is heavily discounting the probability of normal Hormuz traffic levels.

This market will resolve as soon as data for the specified date has been published.

This market will resolve based on the first publication of data for April 30, 2026. Any subsequent revisions will not be considered.
