Analysis
The 43¢ price reflects a modest 43% probability of an independent or third-party House or Senate winner in 2026, though the asymmetric implied yields (114.7% for Yes vs. 36.3% for No) suggest the Yes side offers significantly better risk-adjusted returns at 57%. With only $23.89 in 24-hour volume against $1,195.32 open interest and a 6¢ spread, liquidity is notably thin for a market with 566 days to expiration, indicating limited conviction among traders despite the high yield opportunity on the Yes side.
Resolution rules
If any independent or third-party candidate wins an election for the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate in 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
