WTI front month to reach $120.01 by Dec 31 priced at 32.6% on Kalshi

The Polymarket contract on whether Nebius Group will be acquired before 2027 was priced at a 2.4% implied probability, up 0.1 percentage points over 24 hours, with $8.0M traded in the Oct 17, 2026 · 2:54 PM ET snapshot.

A busy contract with a low implied probability

According to PredictionBubbles, the acquisition question appears among the most-traded contracts on its finance board. Its fundraising/business classification separates it from the monetary-policy question leading the board by volume.

At the latest refresh, that leader was the Polymarket contract asking whether Fed interest rates would remain unchanged after the October 2026 meeting, with $13.4M traded. PredictionBubbles ranks its most-traded list by cumulative volume, separately from its ranking of the largest absolute probability changes over 24 hours.

What the snapshot establishes

PredictionBubbles says its finance board covers 190 open markets, comprising 21 from Kalshi and 169 from Polymarket, and updates every 15 minutes. The supplied material contains no reporting on a Nebius Group bidder, acquisition negotiations or a transaction announcement; it establishes market pricing and activity rather than a corporate-development catalyst.

What it means for prediction markets

• Price and activity tell different stories: The 2.4% reading implies a low probability of an acquisition before 2027, despite $8.0M in trading volume.
• The latest move is small: A 0.1-percentage-point increase is a limited adjustment, not a substantial repricing of the outcome.
• Timing matters: The board refreshes every 15 minutes, while trading on the underlying venues is continuous.
• Contract terms remain important: PredictionBubbles cautions that related questions across venues can differ in wording, resolution rules and deadlines. The supplied material does not include the Nebius Group contract’s detailed resolution criteria.
