🌎 Iran Peace Deal
The Iran peace deal market is the one eating everyone's lunch this week. The "US x Iran permanent peace deal by May 31, 2026?" contract is sitting at 7¢ — that's 7% — on $7.67 million in 24-hour volume. That's the most traded market on Polymarket today by a wide margin.
Breaking News
🚨 Google Insider
A Google information security engineer was charged with insider trading after allegedly using non-public knowledge about Google search query data to bet on a Polymarket contract — and pocket approximately $1.2 million.
This is a landmark case. The DOJ is essentially arguing that prediction markets fall under the same insider trading framework as securities — which is either obvious or legally complicated depending on who you ask. Polymarket is simultaneously pushing for KYC requirements and facing scrutiny over sanctions exposure, per The Information.
New Market to Watch!
🌎 Straight of Hormuz
Will the Strait of Hormuz fully reopen to commercial traffic before June 10, 2026? — currently sitting at 25% on Manifold with minimal volume so far ($63)…
This one just opened and the market is thin, so take the 25% with a grain of salt. But it's the right question to be asking right now. The ceasefire is holding at 99.6%, yet Hormuz reopening is only at 25% — that's a gap that implies the crowd thinks a ceasefire and actual shipping normalization are very different things. They're probably right. Watch the WTI crude market on Manifold (**50% odds it's above $98.50 today**) for confirmation of how nervous energy traders still are.
