Analysis
This market shows extreme mispricing with a 28¢ price generating an 8205% implied yield on the Yes side—a red flag suggesting either severe illiquidity or a definition arbitrage opportunity, particularly given the broad resolution criteria including phone calls. The sharp 7-day decline from 41¢ to 24¢ combined with minimal $93.46 daily volume and tight $972.87 open interest indicates thin liquidity that may not support the theoretical yield, and with only 14 days to expiration and a 1.3/hour information arrival rate, any geopolitical development could trigger rapid repricing. The 729% realized volatility and 3/10 cliff risk index underscore the binary nature of this bet, where the Yes position's extreme yield reflects genuine uncertainty rather than a profitable opportunity.
Resolution rules
If Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meet (including phone calls) before May 1, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
