Prediction market platform Polymarket has attracted attention due to recent data fluctuations. Influenced by changes in the Middle East geopolitical situation, predictions on the platform regarding the probability of Iranian leaders stepping down have surged—summer exit probability has soared to 33%, and the probability of stepping down within the year has skyrocketed to 45%. Behind these data swings are ongoing protests and shifts in political sentiment in the region. Such rapid adjustments in on-chain prediction data often reflect the market's re-pricing of black swan risks. For traders closely monitoring geopolitical premiums and risk asset allocation, these data trends are worth paying attention to—the price discovery mechanism of prediction markets is actively reflecting market participants' understanding of uncertainty.

On-chain data doesn't lie, but traders do. What does the 45% figure indicate? The market is swinging between gambler mentality and rationality.

Oh no, on-chain data is screaming, the market's intuition is really sharp --- Is a 45% probability real? This prediction might be a bit overreacted --- Black swans always fly in when you're not paying attention. Polymarket gave a signal in advance this time --- Risk asset allocators should wake up, data doesn't lie --- This is the beauty of prediction markets, they react a hundred times faster than traditional media --- Honestly, the real-time nature of on-chain data is more powerful than any analysis

Prediction markets have really become a barometer of politics, and this wave of Iran data surge is a bit rapid... On-chain data sensitivity is so high, it feels like someone is speculating on expectations. A 45% probability... is it really frightening or just hype, who knows. I believe in prediction markets, but the real test is when the black swan appears. Big funds are lurking here, smart people can see through it. How long this geopolitical dividend can last, we'll find out next month.

On-chain data is so sensitive, why haven't I sniffed out this wave of geopolitical arbitrage opportunities? --- 45% probability... feels like prediction markets are much faster than news --- Damn, this black swan pricing, I need to study it carefully --- Polymarket is playing a big game, its price discovery mechanism is much more aggressive than traditional markets --- Regarding the geopolitical premium, on-chain data is indeed worth paying attention to, but the risks are also leverage-level --- Why do I feel this prediction is becoming more and more reliable, ahead of some financial news by several steps --- The jump from 33 to 45... is a bit intense, is this a market crash or are there real variables? --- Real-time pricing in prediction markets, this is where Web3 truly shines

The prediction market is skyrocketing again. The recent Middle East situation is indeed intense, and a 45% probability indicates that the market is taking it seriously in pricing.

polymarket doing what it does best—sniffing out tail risk before the mainstream even notices. 45% on regime change by year-end is either genius or absolute degen, no in-between tbh. the liquidity depth on these geopolitical contracts is sketch tho, seen way worse slippage on smaller plays.
