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.
