On October 11, Mbappé was 1.8% to win the Ballon d'Or He is 22% this morning Not one vote changed in between The award covers August 2025 to July 2026, so Sunday's Clásico isn't even in the window The result has been locked for four weeks Polymarket has kept trading it Polymarket, after voting closed vs now > Mbappé: 1.8% low on Oct 11 → 22% > Yamal: 60% peak on Oct 1 → 10% > Kane: 32.6% low on Oct 1 → 68% Each move is either noise or information about an answer that already exists 2024 is the precedent Vinícius was 87.5% on ceremony morning, and a list on X billed as the leaked result had him winning By mid-afternoon he was 5.7% Real Madrid boycotted the ceremony in Paris, and Rodri won In 2025, Dembélé was the morning favorite at 76%, and he won Two ceremonies is too few to call a base rate This year none of the top three is staying home Fabrizio Romano reports Mbappé, Kane and Yamal will all attend At 68% Kane is still the clear favorite At 22% Mbappé is about a one-in-five shot The ceremony starts tonight at 20:00 UTC in London Is Mbappé's run from 1.8% to 22% information or noise?

The S-1 didn't drop Friday Anthropic's November IPO is still possible, with less time to get there Anthropic submitted a draft S-1 confidentially in June Under SEC policy, the S-1 has to go public at least 15 days before the roadshow Yahoo Finance reported the filing could come as soon as Friday Reuters reported the roadshow was planned for the week of Nov 9 For a Nov 9 start, the S-1 had to be public by Oct 25 EDGAR shows no public S-1 as of Sunday A filing on Monday still allows a roadshow from Nov 10 A filing on Oct 30 means no roadshow before Nov 14, a Saturday Nov 26 is Thanksgiving Polymarket, Friday morning vs now > Nov 20: 58% → 22.5% > Nov 25: 68.5% → 53% > Nov 30: 73% → 53% > Dec 31: 84.5% → 75.5% Nov 20 and Nov 25 are thin, $20,000 and $11,000 traded Nov 30 has $472,000 traded These markets resolve when shares start trading Does the S-1 land next week, or does the IPO slide into December?

Republicans need two upsets to keep the Senate Texas is tied in the new Fox News poll Democrats are 67.5% to win the Senate on @trylimitless They're also 67.5% to win both chambers Democrats are 92.5% to win the House A Democratic Senate with a Republican House is under 2% So the midterms come down to the Senate Democrats need to flip 4 Republican seats and hold all 13 seats they're defending Markets favor them in 5 Republican seats: North Carolina, Alaska, Ohio, Maine and Texas That leaves room for one miss Fox has Talarico and Paxton at 49% each in the poll released Wednesday In September, Fox had Talarico up 51 to 49 Talarico is still at 66.5% on @trylimitless Lose Texas, and Democrats need all four other seats on that list Or an upset in a race like Iowa or Kansas, where they trail They'd also need to hold Michigan It's the weakest of the 13 Is Texas the seat that decides the Senate, or the one Democrats can afford to lose?

We covered ethereum:0x6c5ba91642f10282b576d91922ae6448c9d52f4e on the Polyfactual stream 2 weeks ago, it's already up over 150% We think private AI will be a huge narrative in the coming cycle. NEAR and Venice AI already have the Phala stack integrated. We broke down the mechanics and use cases behind Phala and how it's bullish momentum could continue.

A callback to our interview with @morganlai, where she shared one of the most insightful observations about prediction markets right now: "Prediction markets don't have a liquidity problem. They have a discovery problem." Pm liquidity is fundamentally a distribution issue. Unlike stocks or memecoins, prediction markets are tied to specific events, interests, and moments in time. The challenge is getting the right markets in front of the right people at the right time. @arespro is building to solve exactly this.
Ares founder @morganlai was an early Pumpfun investor. Now she's building @arespro, a social trading layer for prediction markets. Her takeaway from memecoins: traders weren't just trading tokens. they were constantly repricing narratives and information as reality changed. Prediction markets turn that behavior into an explicit asset class.

Trump's approval hit new lows in two national polls Polymarket had already priced it in Democrats to win the House 91% a week ago → 91% now 36% of voters approve in the Fox News poll, Oct 9-12 The lowest Fox has found in either of his terms 34% of adults approve in the NBC News poll, Sept 28-Oct 12 Registered voters want Democrats to control Congress, 55 to 45 The Senate is the closer race Democrats are at 65%, up 1 point on the week Also in the news > Early voting opens in Texas today > Trump rallies for Sen. Roger Marshall in Kansas tonight > The Justice Department sued California over mail ballots it says went to likely noncitizens California says the government hasn't shown evidence > NPR reports record midterm fundraising If new lows in approval can't move the House price, what would?

Anthropic slid from 55.3% to 38% on biggest IPO of 2026 in a week Odds it lists by Dec 31 barely moved, 76.5% to 72.5%. Wild gap. The timing still holds. Size got marked down. Timing stayed put.
If Anthropic goes public this year, it's about a coin flip to beat SpaceX's IPO Polymarket gives it about a 38% chance at the biggest IPO of 2026, down from 55.3% a week ago > 72.5% The chance Anthropic goes public by Dec 31, down from 76.5% If it doesn't, SpaceX almost surely wins If it does, its odds are about 50-50 > $2.1T SpaceX's market value at the end of its first trading day That's the number Anthropic has to beat This week, investors talked about a $1.5T valuation for Anthropic, down from about $2T If it prices at $1.5T, it needs to jump about 40% on day one If it prices at $2T, it needs about 5% > 40% None of the 12 biggest IPOs by money raised ended their first day up that much Alibaba came closest, up 38% in 2014 SpaceX sold less than 5% of its shares and still rose only 19% Is 38% too high or too low for Anthropic?
