Polymarket’s contract on a total internet blackout in Iran by December 31, 2026 was priced at 26.5%, down 3.5 probability points over 24 hours, with $254K traded, according to the supplied market snapshot published Oct 29, 2026 at 8:24 AM ET.
PredictionBubbles’ movers board placed the contract among its political-market moves, according to the accompanying summary. The decline indicates that traders assigned a lower probability to the outcome than a day earlier; the supplied material does not identify a news event behind the change.
What the snapshot captures
The summary references an Oct. 29, 12:12 UTC crawl, while the supplied PredictionBubbles page gives its venue-data timestamp as 29 Oct 2026, 12:08 UTC. According to PredictionBubbles, the board draws prices from Polymarket and Kalshi and updates every 15 minutes.
The board ranks contracts by the absolute size of their 24-hour probability-point changes, rather than relative percentage changes. Its stated universe covers 2,024 markets lasting longer than 14 days, with only open contracts that have a valid day-earlier comparison eligible for ranking.
Limits of the available evidence
The supplied page explains the ranking methodology but does not reproduce the Iran contract’s individual market card. The 26.5% price, 3.5-point decline and $254K traded therefore come from the supplied headline, rather than a separately visible entry in the page excerpt.
The material also does not include the contract’s settlement criteria, an explanation of what qualifies as a total blackout, or order-book depth. Those omissions limit what can be concluded about the outcome being priced and the significance of the trading figure.
What it means for prediction markets
The direction is clear: the 3.5-point decline marks a lower market-implied probability, not evidence that an underlying event occurred.
Volume and liquidity are different: $254K traded provides activity context, but the supplied material does not establish order-book depth or specify the volume’s measurement period.
Resolution details remain important: the December 31, 2026 deadline is explicit, but the supplied material does not define the conditions required for the contract to settle affirmatively.
