$331M of Polymarket's geopolitics volume may not survive the CFTC's proposed rule. We read all 879 active geopolitics markets holding $633M in cumulative volume and mapped them against the proposed rule to see what would be affected. The rule's core target makes sense. No contracts that pay out on terrorism, assassination, or war. But what about a ceasefire? A leader leaving office? Control of territory or airspace? These markets can pay on diplomacy, status, or political exit, but under a broad reading they also fall inside the rule if violence is one potential path to resolution. And they're where the money sits. $331M of the $633M would be hard to list. If you trade or build these markets, this rule decides what a US-registered venue can list. The public comment period closes July 27. Full report and how to comment: https://www.quotient.social/reports/cftc-prediction-markets

Credentials didn't decide who called the U.S. strike on Iran. We scored 541 public predictions from 126 people against one resolved market: Will the US strike Iran by February 28, 2026? The top of the ranking mixes a policy analyst, an OSINT account, and a marquee name, while other equally credentialed voices sank to the bottom. The strongest calls pointed at a strike early and held while the market priced it toward single digits. We did not grade these based on followers or quantity of calls. The scoring was based on direction, timing, specificity, conviction, and edge against the market. First report from Quotient's Research Lab: https://www.quotient.social/reports/experts-index/iran-coverage-held-up
