Trump Election Whale Adds $14k to US Strike on Iran Bet

On the prediction market Polymarket, the returning address—previously reported for profiting $320k on the US election—has added $14k over the past day to the wager that the US will strike Iran before January 31. The address now holds a $67k position on "US strikes Iran by Jan 31" (avg cost 26¢, current price 21¢) and a $20k position on "US or Israel strikes Iran by Jan 31" (avg cost 31¢, current price 22¢).

Media sources suggest Trump's aggressive rhetoric on Greenland may be a smokescreen. Over the last 24 hours, US military deployments focused on Iran have visibly accelerated, challenging the assumption that Trump is merely posturing. The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group has gone into electromagnetic silence (AIS off) and is expected to arrive in the Arabian Sea after January 24. Multiple KC-135 Stratotankers have deployed to Spain, replicating routes used for past long-range strikes. Simultaneously, a large fleet of F-15Es and C-17s has moved to Jordan to strengthen defenses against drones and missiles. Collectively, conditions for both offensive and defensive operations appear to be falling into place.

5 Suspicious Accounts Bet $23k on Long-Shot Candidate for Paris Mayor

On the prediction market Polymarket, five accounts have wagered on the long-shot candidate Sarah Knafo to be elected Mayor of Paris. Her current probability of winning stands at just 4%.

The first round of the mayoral election is scheduled for March 15. The current frontrunners are Emmanuel Grégoire (55%) and Rachida Dati (39%). Knafo, whose platform focuses on anti-immigration policies, reserving social housing for local professionals, and fiscal austerity, is polling at approximately 7–10% in the first round.

Community analysis suggests these accounts may not necessarily expect Knafo to win the final election. Instead, they might be anticipating a rise in her support due to upcoming campaign pushes, strategic alliances, or controversial events. If her odds increase significantly before the election, these traders could exit their positions to take profit without waiting for the March 15 results.

New Address Bets $8.5k on Rick Rieder for Fed Chair; Previously Reported VC Continues Accumulation

On the prediction market Polymarket, within the last day, a new address wagered $8.5k that Rick Rieder will be the next Federal Reserve Chairman. Simultaneously, the prominent VC address previously reported by this channel added another $13.3k to its position on Rieder. His implied probability currently stands at 27.3%, continuing the upward trend from yesterday.

Recently, Trump emphasized that the "new Fed Chair selection will be decided soon." Rieder's odds improved after Trump's transition team highlighted his fixed-income management experience at BlackRock and described him as a "market-friendly outsider." Meanwhile, support for Christopher Waller has receded, potentially because the Trump camp leans toward appointing a non-incumbent official.

Zelenskyy WEF Attendance Odds Surge 80% to 90% Intraday

On the prediction market Polymarket, the newly launched "Zelenskyy to attend World Economic Forum?" market dipped to a low of 5–10% at opening yesterday before rallying rapidly. The probability now hovers around 90%, though the order book shows a wide spread of approximately 10%. Total trading volume in the market is currently around $206k.

There is currently no confirmation that Zelenskyy will attend the 2026 Davos Forum in Switzerland, which concludes on January 23. However, he has dispatched a delegation of senior officials to the United States for discussions on security guarantees and post-war recovery; these negotiations are reportedly linked to consultations expected to continue during the Davos forum.

Trump Claims Greenland Framework Agreement at WEF; New Account Bets Nearly $40k on Acquisition

On the prediction market Polymarket, a new account wagered $38,000 ten minutes ago that the US will acquire Greenland before 2027. The current probability for this market stands at 12%.

At the World Economic Forum on January 21, following a meeting with the NATO Secretary General, Trump announced a "framework for a future agreement on Greenland and the entire Arctic region," explicitly stating, "I don't want to use force, I won't use force."

During the forum, Trump emphasized that the focus of the Greenland issue is "Arctic security cooperation." He noted that the US would gain "increased military presence and mineral access" and mentioned the "Golden Dome" missile defense system as part of the collaboration.

Election Whale Adds $13k; Two New Addresses Bet $53k on US Strike on Iran

On the prediction market Polymarket, the returning address that previously profited $320k on the US election has continued to build its position over the past day, adding $12.9k to the wager that the US will strike Iran before Jan 31. Additionally, one new address wagered $46.4k on a US strike occurring between late February and late June, while another new address bet $7.8k on a strike before Jan 31. The probability of a strike by Jan 31 has fluctuated between 20% and 25% over the past three days.

Geopolitical analysts suggest that the current US global strategic deployment bears a strong resemblance to the "Midnight Hammer" strategy observed in June 2025, indicating that the US military is continuing to position assets for both offensive and defensive operations.

New Address Bets $13.8k on Rick Rieder for Fed Chair; Suspicious Accounts Reported Over Past 9 Days Hold $150k+

On the prediction market Polymarket, a new address wagered $13.8k over the past day that Rick Rieder will be the next Fed Chair (cost 30¢, current price 32¢). Over the last nine days, PolyBeats has reported multiple suspicious addresses betting on Rieder with entry prices ranging from 3¢ to 30¢; the total accumulated wager from these profitable addresses currently exceeds $150k.

In the past 24 hours, Reuters reported from Davos that Trump indicated the choice for the next Fed Chair may have narrowed to "just one." He specifically named Rick Rieder among the candidates, describing Rieder's interview as "very impressive." Reuters later reiterated—citing CNBC—that Trump is close to a decision and spoke highly of both Rieder and Kevin Hassett; Hassett also publicly praised Rieder as the "best bond guy." While no official nomination has been submitted, these comments are viewed by the market as a signal of Rieder's rising probability.

Whale Bets $200k on Brazil Election; Wallet Holds Over $3M

On the prediction market Polymarket, a suspicious account wagered $200,000 on Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to win the 2026 Brazilian presidential election. The position was acquired at an average price of 54¢, and the current market probability stands at 53%. Fund tracing suggests the account likely belongs to X user UnknwnFnd, whose on-chain wallet assets exceed $3 million.

The election is scheduled for October 4, 2026. Lula, currently serving his third term (2023–2026) after defeating Jair Bolsonaro in 2022, is eligible to run for a fourth term following a 2025 Superior Electoral Court ruling that clarified his previous non-consecutive terms do not violate term limits. He currently leads the polls with approximately 45–50% support, while Flávio Bolsonaro—the eldest son of the former president—trails in second place with 22%.

Three New Addresses Bet $23.6k on US Strike on Iran Within Days

On the prediction market Polymarket, three new accounts have wagered a total of $23.6k over the past day that the US or Israel will strike Iran between Jan 26 and Jan 31.

US-Iran tensions have continued to escalate over the last 24 hours. A senior Iranian official publicly warned that any military attack by the US would be considered "total war" and met with a forceful response. Meanwhile, the US President announced that a fleet composed of "aircraft carriers and destroyers" is steaming toward the Middle East to monitor the situation. Additionally, the US imposed sanctions on nine oil tankers and associated parties involved in the Iranian oil trade, freezing assets and prohibiting transactions.

New Address Bets $5.8k on Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire by Year-End

On the prediction market Polymarket, a new account wagered $5.8k within the last five hours that Russia and Ukraine will reach a ceasefire before the end of 2026. The position was entered at a cost of 43¢, and the current probability stands at 44%, having fluctuated between 41% and 44% over the last three days.

In the past two days, Zelenskyy stated that the text of a US-backed security guarantee agreement is "fully ready" for review as part of a potential ceasefire or peace framework, though he noted the agreement itself is not a ceasefire. Meanwhile, Russia, the US, and Ukraine held their first direct trilateral talks since 2022 in Abu Dhabi. Although no ceasefire or peace deal was reached, the parties described the meeting as "constructive" and agreed to keep channels of dialogue open.

Fidan emphasized the hope for alternative paths to avoid conflict but noted that Israel appears actively looking for military opportunities.

AI Model Race Heats Up; New Market Shows GPT-5.3 Unlikely to Launch This Week

On the prediction market Polymarket, the probability for the newly created market "GPT-5.3 released by Jan 31?" stands at just 3%.

Rumors regarding GPT-5.3 stem from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's interviews and X posts in late 2025, where he hinted at a "major model breakthrough in early 2026." Community speculation suggests this may refer to a new iteration of the GPT-5 family—potentially GPT-5.3—with a focus on enhanced multimodal capabilities, reasoning, and efficiency.

There are rumors that the internal model previously known by the codename "Garlic" is, in fact, the upcoming GPT-5.3. Given Altman's prior comments regarding significant model breakthroughs, the community anticipates that GPT-5.3 could be revealed to the public in the near future.

From January 23–25, the US, Russia, and Ukraine held their first high-level direct talks since the full-scale outbreak of the war in 2022. Although parties labeled the meeting "constructive," no breakthrough was reached. A subsequent round of negotiations is tentatively scheduled for February 1.

Two New Addresses Bet $17.5k Against Saturday US Gov Shutdown

On the prediction market Polymarket, within the last eight hours, a new address wagered $14.1k that the US government will not shut down before this Saturday (Jan 31), entering at an average price of 25¢. Another new address bet $3.4k at an average price of 22¢. The current trading price for "No" is 21¢.

The US Congress remains deeply divided over the ~$64.4 billion Department of Homeland Security (DHS) budget. Specifically, Senate Democrats have refused to back the current draft due to conflicts over immigration enforcement reform, increasing the likelihood of a partial shutdown before the January 30 deadline. With the deadline just days away, behind-the-scenes negotiations are ongoing to prevent a partial or full government shutdown.

Fed Expected to Hold Rates (99%); 7 New Accounts Bet $100k on Surprise Change

On the prediction market Polymarket, seven new accounts created this month have wagered a total of $100,000 over the past two weeks that the Federal Reserve will change interest rates (either a hike or a cut) at this week's meeting. These positions currently show an unrealized loss of $63,000.

The Federal Reserve is set to announce its decision on January 30. With the current target range at 5.25–5.50%, market expectations for rates to remain unchanged are as high as 99%. January's non-farm payrolls were unexpectedly strong (adding over 200k jobs), and Core PCE inflation cooled to 2.8%. Chair Powell has emphasized data-dependent decision-making, and based on current economic data, the market anticipates no change this month.

However, given Trump's repeated public criticism of Powell and hints at potential intervention in Fed independence, some bettors speculate that Powell might unexpectedly cut rates as a "peace offering" to avoid political risk or pressure from criminal investigations. The mainstream view maintains that the Fed's independence remains robust, making such political influence on monetary policy highly unlikely.

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." Consistent with Trump's management style, if he becomes dissatisfied with frontrunners like Warsh or Rieder, he could potentially force a transfer or mandate a dual role for Bessent.
