Analysis
This market is pricing an extremely low probability (5%) for Newsom's arrest over the next 259 days, yet the Yes side offers an extraordinary 2,676% implied yield—a classic high-risk, low-liquidity setup with only $23 in daily volume. The $6,007.76 open interest and tight 5¢ spread suggest minimal trading activity, making the outsized yield potentially misleading given the illiquidity and cliff risk index of 19. The modest 1¢ price increase over seven days indicates stable market sentiment around the low-probability outcome, though the extreme yield differential warrants caution about execution risk for any meaningful position size.
Resolution rules
If Gavin Newsom is arrested before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.
