How to look at each side

The case for Does not become law by then. The No path sits near 92% because an 8% Yes price is a longshot legislative finish in a divided Washington. Wikipedia’s SAVE Act page describes a voting/citizenship documentation bill that has to clear both chambers and a presidential signature — a gauntlet that usually kills most bills before a hard deadline. That is the No case at about 92%: the Act has not become law by January 4, 2027. The price already encodes that path; Squarefade is not inventing a second favorite where the board shows a thin residual.

The case for Before Jan 4, 2027. Why Yes still sits at about 8%: Congress can still attach must-pass vehicles and force a late signature before a calendar cliff. This is leftover doubt at a single-digit price — Squarefade keeps it short. That is the leftover case at 8%: the Act somehow clears the finish line before January 4, 2027. The price already encodes that path; Squarefade is not inventing a second favorite where the board shows a thin residual.

What the odds are saying

Yes at ~8% means No near 92% is the favorite. Treat Yes as residual legislative hope, not a second favorite.

1 reason the 8% can still move:

  1. Must-pass packages. A year-end vehicle can revive a bill that looked dead in committee.

The market has this about right as a longshot Yes.

What to watch

Congressional calendars through early 2027 — the market’s listed deadline is January 4, 2027.
