Analysis
This illiquid market shows extreme asymmetry with a 522% implied yield on the Yes side versus just 8% on the No side, suggesting severe mispricing or that traders view Fryday as a significant long-shot candidate. The $856 open interest and zero 24-hour volume indicate minimal market activity, making the 7¢ spread and recent price recovery from 9¢ to 11¢ potentially unreliable signals given the thin liquidity. With 566 days until expiry and a Cliff Risk Index of 8, this market carries substantial uncertainty and execution risk for any meaningful position.
Resolution rules
If Josh Fryday wins the 2026 California Lieutenant Governor election, then the market resolves to Yes.
