Iran regime collapse odds rise to 13.5% as geopolitical tensions escalate: FT

Iran has become a focal point for superpower tensions, similar to Ukraine and Taiwan. The odds of the Iranian regime falling by June 30 have increased to 13.5% YES, up from 12% yesterday.

This change follows Iran’s ongoing military conflict with Israel and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The June 30 market shows heightened geopolitical tension but not an imminent regime collapse. With 88 days until resolution, the market saw a modest 1-point spike in the last session, indicating skepticism about a near-term collapse but acknowledging increased pressure.

USDC trading volume is at $59,602 daily, suggesting a thinner market where large trades can sway odds. It takes $195,747 to move the price by 5 points, showing substantial depth and potential institutional interest. The largest recent price move was a 1-point jump at 7:21 PM.

The news suggests growing instability, but it’s sourced from a tier-3 social media aggregator, which tempers its impact. The increase from 12% to 13.5% indicates traders are considering geopolitical dynamics without overreacting. A YES share costs 13.5¢, offering a $1 payout if the regime falls by June 30—a 7.4x return. Signs of higher instability would include IRGC fractures or unexpected Assembly of Experts activity.

Watch for key signals like IRGC leadership changes, Mojtaba Khamenei’s public absence, or an unexpected Assembly of Experts meeting. These events could significantly shift market odds.
