Analysis
This market prices a direct meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin at exactly even odds (53¢) with a symmetrical 36.2% implied yield on both sides, suggesting genuine uncertainty about whether diplomatic engagement will occur over the next 1,009 days. The extremely low 24-hour volume of $189.66 against $28,768 open interest indicates illiquidity and potential difficulty entering or exiting positions, which is notable given the long time horizon and geopolitical sensitivity of the outcome. The price has drifted slightly downward from 51¢ to 50¢ over seven days with minimal cliff risk, suggesting the market is in equilibrium with no imminent catalysts driving conviction in either direction.
Resolution rules
If Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin meet before Jan 20, 2029, then the market resolves to Yes.
