Analysis
The market has experienced notable downward pressure over the past week, declining from 34¢ to 28¢ (a 18% drop), suggesting deteriorating conviction among traders that Smith will face charges within the 259-day window. The extreme Yes-side implied yield of 362.1% reflects the asymmetric risk profile—while the 31% probability offers substantial upside for believers, the thin $82.46 daily volume and modest $9,974.94 open interest indicate low liquidity that could amplify price swings on news events. With a neutral regime score and moderate cliff risk index of 3, this market appears fairly priced but vulnerable to sudden moves tied to legal developments, making the wide 362% yield potentially illusory given execution risk in a thin market.
Resolution rules
If Jack Smith has been formally charged with a federal crime after Issuance and before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.
