Market context
The crowd-implied probability on Polymarket for the Iranian regime collapsing before 2027 sits at 7% for "Yes", reflecting a cautious market view that the Islamic Republic remains resilient despite current pressures [2]. This contract, traded on the Polygon network using USDC and conditional tokens, prices the event not as an abstract certainty but as a low-probability outcome where core structures like the Supreme Leader’s office and IRGC control persist [2].
Historical baselines suggest regime changes occur roughly once per century in any given country, implying a 1% annual probability, though periods of intense political stress can elevate this to 5–6% [1]. Current economic distress, with inflation exceeding 50% and food prices hitting 70%, likely adds two to three percentage points to this baseline, yet cohesive security forces, entrenched institutions, and a deep fear of chaos following collapses in Iraq or Libya pull the estimate back into the low single digits [1][5].
Traders should monitor announcements regarding elite divisions, the scale of ongoing protests, and shifts in international support, as these are critical catalysts for revolution [5]. Recent reporting from The Atlantic notes that Iran now meets nearly all five conditions for a successful revolution, including a financial crisis and divided elites, yet the absence of a unified alternative leadership remains a significant dampener [5]. The settlement window closing on 31 December 2026 means any de facto loss of power over the majority of the population must occur within this timeframe to resolve as "Yes" [2].
Methodology
This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Polymarket Qué Es, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.
Resolution & payout
Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.
Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
