Analysis
This market shows extremely thin liquidity with just $62 in 24-hour volume against $2,572 open interest, creating a wide 6¢ spread and an unusually inflated 796.6% implied yield on the Yes side that likely reflects illiquidity rather than true probability. The 21¢ price implies only a 21% chance of such restrictive data center legislation passing within 260 days, which appears reasonable given the political and economic headwinds against regulating a critical infrastructure sector during an AI boom. The modest 1¢ downward price movement over seven days and neutral regime score suggest the market lacks conviction, though the 6 Cliff Risk Index warrants caution near resolution.
Resolution rules
If legislation that prohibits data center power usage from increasing consumers' electric utility bills has become law before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.
