President Trump warned that Iran faces a “catastrophe” if it doesn’t accept a deal within 12 hours. The US-Iran ceasefire by April 15 market is at 99.6% YES, up from 14% yesterday.
The threat is moving related markets. The ceasefire by April 30 market is at 99.5% YES, up from 36% a week ago. The term structure shows traders expect resolution imminently, with odds converging across timelines. The Iranian regime fall by June 30 market sits at 8.5% YES, down from 12% yesterday, suggesting traders are discounting immediate regime change even as tensions rise.
The US-Iran ceasefire markets have a face value of $13.7M, with $4.5M in actual USDC traded. It takes $246,725 to move the April 15 market 5 points, which reflects strong liquidity. The largest move was a 24-point spike at 10:34 PM, likely driven by Trump’s ultimatum.
Trump’s rhetoric raises the stakes on both ceasefire resolution and regime instability simultaneously. At 99.6¢, a YES share is effectively a bet on immediate compliance or a diplomatic breakthrough. A regime fall by June 30 YES share pays $1 if it happens, a 11.7x return. That bet requires believing internal fractures will quickly follow any escalation.
Watch for Iran’s response to Trump’s deadline, particularly any military or diplomatic moves. Secretary of State Rubio and SecDef Hegseth’s next steps matter, as do any signals from intermediaries like Oman or Qatar. A shift in rhetoric or military posture from either side could move these odds fast.
