Ukraine agrees not to join NATO before 2027?

The Yes side offers an exceptional 566% implied yield on a 20¢ position, reflecting extreme underpricing relative to the ~258 days to expiry, though this must be weighed against the 4/10 Cliff Risk Index suggesting binary resolution dynamics. With $19.3M open interest but only $140K in 24-hour volume, liquidity is notably thin for the position size, creating potential slippage concerns for larger trades. The flat 7-day price action (19¢ to 20¢) and neutral regime score suggest the market has stabilized around this low probability despite the geopolitical volatility inherent to Ukraine-NATO negotiations.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Ukraine publicly agrees not to join NATO by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An official pledge by Ukraine not to join NATO will qualify for a “Yes” resolution whether as a unilateral announcement or part of an agreement with the Russian Federation. Any agreement or pledge made before the resolution date of this market will qualify, regardless of if/when the agreement goes into effect. An agreement by Ukraine not to join NATO for any amount of time will count (e.g. If Ukraine not to join NATO for 10 years this will qualify). An agreement by Ukraine not to join NATO as a precondition of a more comprehensive peace process or deal will qualify, even if the agreement is not finalized or part of a formalized peace deal. The September 8, 1995 “Agreed Basic Principles” between Bosnia and Yugoslavia which recognized the borders and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and was later formalized through the Dayton Peace Agreement is an example of a qualifying agreement. The primary resolution source for this market will be an official announcement by the Ukraine, however an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming a qualifying agreement has been reached will also count.
