Arizona just filed 20 criminal charges against @Kalshi. AG Kris Mayes says Kalshi ran "an illegal gambling operation" and took "bets on Arizona elections." First criminal charges against a prediction market in US history. Kalshi's response: "paper-thin." They say only the CFTC has jurisdiction. The same week @Polymarket signed a CFTC MOU with MLB. Same industry, completely opposite legal trajectories. Source: usatoday.com/story/sports/m…

Russia filling the gap while Iran's routes close — the market is watching. US x Iran ceasefire by March 31: 7.5¢ @Polymarket. April 30: 30.5¢. June 30: 53.5¢. The crowd says this war lasts months, not days. Russia has time to lock in those 4.11M bpd numbers. polymarket.com/event/us-x-ira…

Russia is capitalizing on the Iran War: Last week, Russian seaborne crude oil shipments rose to 4.11 million barrels per day, the 3rd-highest weekly reading since April 2023. This brings the 4-week average to 3.44 million barrels per day, up +90,000 barrels per day from the prior week. This comes as soaring oil prices and a 30-day US sanctions waiver on Russian crude sitting on tankers have fueled the surge in exports. Meanwhile, prices for Russian crude delivered to India hit an all-time high. Combined with rising export volumes, this drove Russia's largest weekly revenue increase since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russia is emerging as one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Iran War.

The market knows. Crude futures at @Polymarket just slipped again as Iran's Hormuz closure plays out. Hitting $100/barrel by end of March: 66.5¢ (was 69¢ this morning) Hitting $110: 25.9¢ (was 30¢) $43M total bet. Saudi rerouting through Yanbu is working — the market sees a ceiling even with the closure. polymarket.com/event/will-cru…

Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz to all but approved vessels. Here’s what to know about the waterway that’s a vital shipping route for oil, gas and other commodities bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Slovenia votes Sunday. The market just FLIPPED. @Polymarket: Freedom Movement (Golob) 52¢ vs SDS (Janša) 49¢. Race too close to call. New catalyst: Golob wrote directly to the EU Commission TODAY accusing Israeli firm Black Cube of election interference on behalf of Janša.

@Polymarket The CDU still leads, but this is now a genuine contest. CDU polling edge: ~1-2pp. Market edge: ~1.75x. Election: Sunday, March 22. Watch the result — it's an early read on CDU's national strength vs SPD's late surge.

Germany's Rhineland-Palatinate votes Sunday. Markets: CDU 63.5¢ vs SPD ~36¢ @Polymarket — tighter than polls suggest. A month ago, the CDU was priced above 70¢. That 7-point collapse means one thing: the race isn't over. 🔗 @Polymarket: polymarket.com/event/rhinelan…

@Kalshi at $22B. @Polymarket at $8B. Between them: $1.6B+ in open interest. Prediction markets just became a serious asset class. The CFTC's March 12 ANPRM made the regulatory moat real. Kalshi fought Nevada and Arizona in court. They won. Now they're valued at $22 billion. This is what regulatory clarity looks like.

Kalshi has raised more than $1 billion at a valuation of $22 billion in a new financing round, according to a person familiar with the situation bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@KobeissiLetter Saudi rerouting to Yanbu while traders price the Strait closure. @Polymarket crude oil end of March: $100 = 69.3¢ $110 = 30.3¢ $105 = 48.0¢ $43M total volume. The market priced $100 oil at 76¢ this morning. Now 69¢. Saudi exports are working. polymarket.com/event/will-cru…

Saudi Arabia is ramping up oil exports amid the Strait of Hormuz closure: Crude oil shipments from Yanbu, a port on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, are up to 4.19 million barrels per day. This marks a +185% increase from the ~1.47 million barrels per day that moved through the port in February, before the Iran War. The surge is being powered by a 746-mile pipeline rerouting crude from the eastern oil fields to Yanbu, bypassing the blocked Strait of Hormuz entirely. Shipments have also more than doubled since January’s 1.29 million barrels per day. As a result, Saudi Arabia has already recovered more than half of its pre-war export capacity of ~7 million barrels per day. Furthermore, at least 32 large oil tankers are waiting near Yanbu to load, with more still heading to the port. Saudi Arabia is aggressively looking to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

@unusual_whales The market already priced the escalation. @Polymarket: Iranian regime fall by March 31 = 3.2¢. $42M total volume. WHO plans for nuclear catastrophe. Market saying the *regime* survives even if the conflict doesn't. That gap is the whole story. polymarket.com/event/will-the…

World Health Organization officials are preparing for a nuclear catastrophe if the U.S.-Israel war with Iran escalates further, per POLITICO

@KobeissiLetter While Gulf allies are fuming, the oil market is pricing real risk. @Polymarket crude by end of March: • $100: 76.2¢ • $110: 39.3¢ • $120: 20.5¢ $43M total traded. $3.1M in the last 24 hours alone. polymarket.com/event/will-cru…

BREAKING: America’s Arab allies are now "fuming" that they do not seem to have any influence with the Trump Administration despite "heavy investments of time and money," per WSJ. Arab Gulf countries recently committed to investing nearly $4 trillion in the US.

What makes this different from past Orbán campaigns: • Fidesz controls state media — but TISZA leads in independent polls by 8-12pp • Economy stagnant. EU funds frozen over rule-of-law concerns. • Fidesz hasn't been below 40% in a general election since 2006 The market says this time is different. 24 days to find out.

Orbán has won 4 elections in a row with massive majorities. April 12 could end that. @Polymarket: TISZA 65.5¢ vs Fidesz 34¢ to win Hungary's parliament. $10M total traded. Reuters March 11: polls show TISZA on track for 115 of 199 seats. polymarket.com/event/hungary-…

The energy infrastructure war is what the market is actually watching. Iran regime fall by March 31: 3.8¢ @Polymarket — still not pricing a collapse. But Iran war duration markets tell a different story. $41.6M total bet on whether this ends before summer. polymarket.com/event/will-the…

BREAKING: Escalating attacks on Persian Gulf oil and gas infrastructure are sending the Iran War into a "dangerous new phase" that threatens to worsen the global energy crisis, per WSJ. Details include: 1. Israel struck the "crown jewel" of Iran’s energy industry, the South Pars gas field, that Iran shares with Qatar and is by far the largest in the world 2. Iran retaliated with two attacks on a major gas hub in Qatar and a missile barrage fired at Saudi Arabia 3. "Arab governments were furious about Israel’s attack and the US failure to head it off," officials said 4. Gulf countries have expressed that they now feel a "target" has been put on their backs The global energy crisis is accelerating.

@unusual_whales Full Netanyahu market board at @Polymarket: Out by March 31: 2.5¢ Out by April 30: 7.5¢ Out by June 30: 14.5¢ Out by end of 2026: 46.5¢ $6.3M traded in 24 hours. That March wallet is betting into 97.5¢ odds of nothing happening in 12 days. polymarket.com/event/netanyah…

Woah - look here. This wallet has only two positions, both on Netanyahu being out before June 30th. They have $175k on Bibi being out by March 31. Loads of action in last TWO days. What do they know? See more: unusualwhales.com/predictions/us…

@KobeissiLetter Prediction markets are pricing the chaos: @Polymarket crude hits $100 by end of March: 80c Hits $105: 60c Hits $110: 38c Hits $120: 20c $3.3M traded in this market today alone. The crowd sees $100 as near-certain, $110 as a coin flip. polymarket.com/event/will-cru…

Global oil markets are out of control: As the Iran War closes week 3, US oil prices are trading at $97/barrel, up +76% since December. Meanwhile, physical oil prices in Oman are up to a RECORD $167/barrel, a +72% PREMIUM. What is happening? Let us explain. (a thread)

Saudi trust "shattered" -- and prediction markets are repricing in real time. @Polymarket US x Iran ceasefire by Apr 30: 32.5c (down from 42c a week ago) Ceasefire by June 30: 52c Iran regime fall by March 31: just 3.5c -- the crowd doesn't see collapse imminent. The market is saying: this gets uglier before any deal. polymarket.com/event/us-x-ira…

Saudi Arabia reserves the right to act militarily against Iran and any trust with Tehran has been shattered, the Saudi foreign minister has said

The BETS OFF Act alone, if passed, removes the contracts where prediction markets have proven most accurate: elections, geopolitical events, government actions. Arizona is the bigger threat. A fine is a cost of doing business. Criminal conviction bars you from operating. CFTC Chair Selig fired back calling it "entirely inappropriate as a criminal prosecution" -- but that fight happens in court, not in Congress. What to watch: Apr 30 CFTC comment deadline. The industry is filing responses. If the ANPRM framework lands as written (insider trading definitions + public interest test), it reshapes which markets can exist. The irony: The same week the Fed made June cuts less likely, the regulatory framework that lets @Kalshi offer Fed decision markets got 3 new threats.

This week, prediction markets got hit on 3 regulatory fronts simultaneously. 1. CFTC ANPRM (Mar 12) -- 40 questions, 45-day comment window, insider trading definitions incoming 2. Murphy-Casar BETS OFF Act (Mar 17) -- bans wagers on gov't actions, war, assassination; directly targets @Kalshi + @Polymarket's highest-volume contracts 3. Arizona criminal charges (Mar 17) -- not a fine, not a lawsuit. Criminal prosecution of @Kalshi None of these are coordinated. That's what makes it worse.

Augusta National has 59 players competing. If the field were perfectly equal, each gets roughly 1.7c. Scheffler gets 19c -- more than 11x field average. That's a massive premium. The market gives him roughly a 1-in-5 chance. BetMGM has him at +300 (implying ~25%). Polymarket at 19c. Close enough to call consensus. $1M+ traded today alone. Two weeks out, the Masters board is live.

The Masters is the biggest prediction market in golf -- $47M total on who wins at @Polymarket. World #1 Scottie Scheffler is the favorite. At 19c. The defending champion is still a 1-in-5 shot against the full field. Here's why that makes sense: polymarket.com/event/the-mast…
