Analysis

12d ago

The 14-cent cross-venue gap between Polymarket (38¢) and Kalshi (52¢) represents a notable arbitrage opportunity, with Polymarket pricing in a significantly lower 38% IPO probability despite 258 days remaining until expiry. The extreme realized volatility of 403% and asymmetric implied yields (231% for Yes vs. 87% for No) suggest high uncertainty, though the recent 8-cent price decline over seven days and low 24-hour volume of $279 indicate thin liquidity that may be exacerbating the venue discrepancy. With an info arrival rate of 0.9 per hour and neutral regime conditions, this market appears to be repricing downward on recent developments, making the Kalshi price potentially more reflective of fundamental expectations.
