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.

Drake Maye win the MVP priced at 3.0% on Kalshi, down 3.0 points, on $1.7M traded

No significant new platform headline in the last 30 minutes; news search recirculated only items already used, banned or web-held today (the NBA preferred-partner deal…

Drake Maye’s probability of winning the MVP was priced at 3.0% on Kalshi, down 3.0 percentage points, with $1.7M traded, according to the supplied market headline published Oct 29, 2026, at 8:24 AM ET.

A lower market price, without an identified catalyst

The supplied news summary identified no significant new platform headline in the preceding 30 minutes. It did not establish a reason for the change in Maye’s price, so the decline cannot be attributed to a specific development from the material available.

According to predictionbubbles.net, its movers dashboard measures probability-point changes over 24 hours using prices from Polymarket and Kalshi. The supplied page records a venue-data snapshot dated 29 Oct 2026, 12:08 UTC, and says the dashboard updates every 15 minutes.

What the figures establish

The dashboard ranks moves by their absolute size in probability points, rather than by relative percentage changes, according to predictionbubbles.net. On that basis, the headline’s 3.0-point decline describes a change in the market’s implied probability—not a 3.0% relative fall.

The $1.7M traded figure provides activity context, but the supplied headline does not specify its measurement period. Nor does the supplied page excerpt include a Maye-specific listing or order-book detail. Those limits matter: traded volume alone does not establish how much liquidity was available when the price moved.

What it means for prediction markets

  • Separate price from explanation: The 3.0% reading documents market pricing; the supplied material does not identify the catalyst.
  • Keep the units straight: The reported decline is 3.0 percentage points, not 3.0% in relative terms.
  • Treat volume as context: The $1.7M figure does not, by itself, establish market depth or explain the repricing.
