2 Whales Bet on Long Shot: $10.7k on Treasury Sec for Fed Chair
On the prediction market Polymarket, two accounts have been continuously buying "Yes" shares on Scott Bessent to be selected as the next Fed Chair. The total position size is $10.7k, with the current market probability at just 4%.
Of the two accounts, "HD2"—previously reported by this channel as a suspected crypto VC-linked address—is currently sitting on over $170k in unrealized gains from betting on Rick Rieder for Fed Chair. The other account, "Aeglos," holds only one other position: a massive $257k wager that the Fed will leave interest rates unchanged this month.
As the current Treasury Secretary, Bessent has repeatedly stated he has no interest in the Fed Chair role, affirming his commitment to executing Trump's tariff and tax agenda. However, given Bessent's extreme loyalty, Trump has previously mentioned he wanted Bessent to "lead the Fed."

New Address Bets $39.5k on US Strike on Iran by End of Feb or March
On the prediction market Polymarket, a new address wagered $39.5k over the past day that the US will strike Iran before the end of February or March. The position includes $26.4k bet on a strike before March 31 (average entry 55¢, current price 56¢) and $13.1k bet on a strike before February 28 (average entry 46¢, current price 45¢).
The Guardian reports that the US has announced multi-day aerial military exercises in the Middle East led by US Central Command (CENTCOM), confirming the arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group in the region. The drills involve multiple aircraft, including F-15Es and British Typhoon fighters, and are viewed as a demonstration of rapid deployment and air combat capabilities. Although officially labeled as routine, the exercises coincide with escalating US-Iran tensions and are interpreted as a preparatory posture for potential military action.

Four New Addresses Bet $172k Against Saturday US Gov Shutdown
On the prediction market Polymarket, four new addresses wagered a total of $171.9k over the past day that the US government will not shut down on Saturday. Entry prices ranged from 22¢ to 24¢, with the current market price standing at 26¢.
Congress remains deeply divided over legislation regarding Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding. Democratic senators are opposing the current budget proposal following a recent fatal shooting involving immigration enforcement, while Republicans and the White House insist on advancing a comprehensive spending bill that includes the DHS. As of now, there is no reliable confirmation that a final agreement has been reached ahead of the deadline.

Takaichi Dissolves Lower House for Snap Election; Voter Turnout Market Goes Live
On the prediction market Polymarket, a new market titled "2026 Japanese General Election Voter Turnout" launched today.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, exercising her authority to dissolve the House of Representatives at any time, dissolved the lower house on January 23—the opening day of the Diet session—without facing representative questioning. Yesterday, she announced the general election will take place on February 8, declaring that she will resign if her ruling coalition fails to secure a majority of the votes.
Although Takaichi is currently Prime Minister, her ruling coalition holds only a razor-thin majority in the House of Representatives and is in the minority in the House of Councillors (Upper House). She requires a landslide victory to weaken the opposition's leverage in the Upper House.

On the prediction market Polymarket, two new addresses wagered a total of $8.4k over the past day that either the US or Israel will strike Iran before January 31. Specifically, a $5k position targets a US strike before Jan 31 (average entry 11¢, current price 10¢), while a $3.4k position targets an Israeli strike before Jan 31 (average entry 8¢, current price 8¢).
On January 29, Reuters reported that President Donald Trump is considering targeted military strikes against key Iranian figures and security institutions.

The report indicates that the US is continuing to increase military readiness in the Middle East, with Arab and Western diplomats warning that airstrikes could trigger a wider conflict.
