For crypto prediction markets wey link to “Israel–Iran permanent peace deal,” the April 30 peace talks contract comot down to about 0.7% YES from 3% the day before. With only days left, the April 30 outcome dey near “flatlined,” with just about ~2-point price move.
The June 30 contract dey around 9% YES, leaving an 8-point gap versus April 30, wey show say small room dey for progress over the next two months. But overall sentiment still weak. The Strait of Hormuz blockade contract drop to 60.5% YES from 72%, meaning confidence for near-term de-escalation don fall.

Bearish
Bearish becos di main crypto-linked indicator — di chances say dem go tanda permanent peace deal between Israel-Iran — don sharply drop and di April 30 contract don almost flatline. Thin USDC liquidity for di peace-deal markets dey raise di chance say prices fit swing quick, but di direction remain negative: traders dey price out near-term diplomatic breakthrough. Meanwhile, di Strait of Hormuz blockade contract wey cool from 72% to 60.5% show say expectations for de-escalation dey fade instead make dem strengthen.
Short-term, if no new positive signals (like US response delay) geopolitical-risk sentiment go remain heavy and likely keep peace-deal probabilities low. Volatility fit spike if Trump or Abbas Araghchi make clear statements, because contracts fit reprice quick for low-liquidity conditions. Long-term, di gap between June 30 and April 30 odds mean negotiations fit still get chance later, but current pricing show say dat path uncertain.
