Trade: Who will meet with Iran by June 30?
Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Yes" if there is a diplomatic meeting between the listed individual, acting as a representative of the United States, and representatives of Iran by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. To qualify, the listed individual must be physically present at the meeting and actively participate as a negotiator representing the United States. A diplomatic meeting refers to a deliberate meeting between representatives of the listed countries who are acting in an official capacity and are authorized to engage in negotiation or diplomacy regarding US-Iranian relations on behalf of their governments.

Market outcomes
| Donald Trump | 7% YES | 93% NO |
| J.D. Vance | 14% YES | 86% NO |
| Jared Kushner | 33% YES | 68% NO |
| Marco Rubio | 12% YES | 89% NO |
| Steve Witkoff | 44% YES | 56% NO |
Market context
The question hinges on whether Steve Witkoff, Trump's Middle East envoy and incoming White House Chief of Staff, will conduct direct diplomatic talks with Iranian officials by the end of June 2026. Such a meeting would require both parties to agree to formal negotiations, with Witkoff physically present and actively negotiating on behalf of the United States. The 7% implied probability on Polymarket's order book reflects substantial scepticism about this outcome materialising within the 18-month window.
Historical precedent suggests direct US-Iran diplomatic engagement remains rare and contingent on significant geopolitical shifts. The last substantive bilateral talks occurred under the Obama administration, culminating in the 2015 JCPOA. Trump's first term saw maximum pressure and no direct negotiations. Witkoff's appointment signals potential openness to Middle East diplomacy, but Iran's current posture and domestic constraints in both capitals make formal talks unlikely without a major catalyst—such as a nuclear crisis, regional conflict escalation, or explicit policy reversal by the Trump administration.
Traders should monitor announcements regarding US sanctions policy, Iranian nuclear programme developments, and any public statements from either government about diplomatic channels. The timing of UN General Assembly sessions, potential Israeli-Iranian escalations, and statements from Witkoff himself will signal whether conditions are shifting. Recent reporting from Reuters and other outlets has emphasised the Trump team's focus on Israel and Gulf states rather than Iran engagement, which supports the current low probability. Any shift in rhetoric or leaked diplomatic overtures would likely move the market sharply.

How this market resolves
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
How to trade this market step by step
The mechanics for trading "Who will meet with Iran by June 30?" are the same as any other PolyGram event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.
- Sign in on polygram.ink with your email — no full KYC under $1,500 lifetime trading volume.
- Deposit USDC on Polygon (lowest fees, ~$0.01 per transaction) or Ethereum. Funds credit after 12 confirmations.
- Pick a side. Buy YES if you believe the event will happen; buy NO if you think it won't. The current YES price reflects the market's collective probability.
- Size your position. If you stake 100 USDC at 50% YES, you'll receive shares that pay $200 if YES resolves true — a 100% gross return. If NO resolves, your shares are worth $0.
- Set risk controls (optional). Stop-loss, take-profit, and limit-order types all supported. Use the trade ticket's slippage box to cap your maximum entry price.
- Wait for resolution. When the event resolves on-chain via the UMA optimistic oracle, the winning side settles to 100¢ automatically and USDC hits your balance within seconds. Withdrawable to any wallet you control.
How active is this market?
$11K in lifetime turnover and $63K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for witkoff contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is exceptional — among the deepest order books in the category.
Last 24 hours alone saw $2K in turnover, well above the lifetime daily-average for this market — a clear sign of news catalysing trader activity right now.
The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
Key terms
- YES / NO share
- A binary outcome token that pays $1.00 if the underlying claim resolves true (YES) or false (NO), and $0 otherwise. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.
- CLOB
- Central limit order book. The matching engine that pairs YES buyers with NO buyers (effectively the same trade). Polymarket's CLOB on Polygon executes trades on-chain via the conditional-tokens framework.
- Liquidity
- USDC capital sitting in resting limit orders inside the order book. Deeper liquidity means smaller slippage on large trades and a tighter bid-ask spread.
- UMA optimistic oracle
- The on-chain dispute system that settles each Polymarket market. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution.
- Slippage
- The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.
- Conditional token
- ERC-1155 outcome share issued by Gnosis Conditional Tokens on Polygon. The token type that resolves to $1.00 or $0.00 at settlement.

Risk and regulatory note
Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.
Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
