Analysis

4d ago

The market has surged 15% over seven days to 76¢, pricing in a notably bullish view of nuclear deal prospects with over 1,000 days to expiry, yet the extremely asymmetric implied yields (11.4% for Yes vs. 114.5% for No) signal deep skepticism among No holders who demand outsized returns for their conviction. The extraordinarily high realized volatility of 2,349% and vol ratio of 39.73 suggest this market experiences violent swings despite thin liquidity ($2.9k open interest), making the current price potentially unstable and vulnerable to sharp reversals on geopolitical news.

Resolution rules

If the United States has agreed to, signed, or accepted a new Iran-US nuclear deal before Jan 20, 2029, then the market resolves to Yes.
