US-Iran ceasefire in effect, talks set for Islamabad

The US-Iran ceasefire is in effect, with talks scheduled in Islamabad. The April 15 ceasefire market has resolved at 100% YES, up from 18% a week ago.

Market reaction

Following the announcement of Pakistan-mediated talks, the April 15 market fully resolved at 100%. The April 30 and May 31 markets both sit at 100% YES, meaning traders expect the ceasefire to hold through at least late spring. The Iranian regime fall by June 30 market is at 11.5% YES, up slightly from 8% twenty-four hours ago, suggesting the ceasefire and upcoming negotiations have reduced perceived regime vulnerability.

Why it matters

USDC volume across ceasefire markets hit $3,232,549 over the past 24 hours, with deep order books pointing to institutional participation. It would take $22,171 to move the regime fall market by 5 points, a sign of thick liquidity despite the fragile ceasefire. Both sides have kept forces in place, so the de-escalation is real but conditional.

What to watch

Traders looking for a contrarian position might note the regime fall market, where a YES share at 12¢ pays $1 if it resolves YES, an 8.3x return. That bet requires a breakdown in talks or renewed military action. The Islamabad talks on April 10-11 are the next catalyst. CENTCOM statements or moves by intermediaries like Oman or Qatar could shift these markets quickly.
