US-Iran talks have collapsed again, dropping the ceasefire-by-April-30 market to 2.1% YES, down from 10% just 24 hours ago. Trump cancelled Envoys Witkoff and Kushner’s Islamabad trip, and Iran remains firm on refusing negotiations under blockade conditions.

The collapse has hit odds across the board. The April 30 peace deal market sits at 2.1% YES. The May 31 contract is at 29.5%, suggesting traders see a window for progress over the next month. The June 30 market is at 47.5%, pointing to some expectation of a longer-term resolution.

Trading volume is $854,588 in USDC over 24 hours, and it takes $27,667 to move the price 5 points in the April market. The largest recent spike was a 6-point move at 11:14 AM, consistent with reactive trading on headline news.

These talks were never formally scheduled, and Trump’s cancellation signals no urgency to find common ground. Iran’s stance on the blockade hasn’t changed, and the US refuses to make concessions first, keeping the deadlock firm. At 2¢, a YES share pays $1 if a peace deal is struck by April 30, a 47.5x return. That requires a surprise diplomatic breakthrough in the next six days.

Watch for any shift in Iran’s positioning or US statements hinting at concessions. The May 31 contract at 29.5% implies traders think resumed talks within a month are plausible, so any back-channel signals could move that market fast.
