Analysis
This market shows extreme mispricing with Yes trading at just 10¢ despite United Russia historically dominating Russian elections—the party held 324 seats in the 2021 Duma, making the 295-309 range plausible and arguably underpriced. The 2106% implied yield on Yes contracts combined with critically low 24-hour volume of $61 and a massive 5¢ spread suggests severe illiquidity is driving the distorted pricing rather than genuine bearish conviction. With 156 days to expiry and a Cliff Risk Index of 9, this appears to be a thin, speculative market where small trades can move prices dramatically, warranting extreme caution around execution despite the superficially attractive odds.
