Analysis
This market shows extreme illiquidity with zero 24-hour volume and only $517 open interest, making the 12¢ price potentially unreliable for serious positioning. The 281.8% implied yield on the Yes side is notably inflated by the low price and long 1,721-day timeframe, while the wide 5¢ spread reflects thin order books. With a moderate Cliff Risk Index of 13 and neutral regime, the market appears to be pricing in Scalise's relatively low odds of becoming Speaker before 2031, though the lack of trading activity suggests limited conviction either way.
Resolution rules
If Steve Scalise is the first Speaker of the House after Mike Johnson, before Jan 1, 2031, then the market resolves to Yes.
