Analysis
This market shows extreme yield asymmetry with the Yes side offering 246.9% annualized return versus just 5.5% for No, suggesting traders heavily discount the probability of a Putin-Zelenskyy meeting in Hungary despite the long 989-day timeframe. The $0 24-hour volume combined with modest $5,090 open interest and tight 1¢ spread indicates low liquidity and minimal recent trading activity, making the 14¢ price potentially unreliable for true probability assessment. The elevated Cliff Risk Index of 7 warns of potential sharp repricing around key geopolitical events, particularly given the ongoing Ukraine conflict and the speculative nature of predicting high-level diplomatic meetings between adversaries.
Resolution rules
If the next Putin and Zelenskyy meeting happens in Hungary before Dec 31, 2028, then the market resolves to Yes.
