Interesting things are happening. On-chain data has detected two new wallets recently making a big move—they spent $23,000 to buy a prediction contract, betting that "Israel will launch military action against Iran before January 31, 2026." The entry price was 0.36U each.

Looking at the wallet addresses, these two accounts were created not long ago, and they immediately poured in such a large amount of money. Either someone is deeply bearish on this event's probability, or they have unique insights into the situation. Recently, geopolitical prediction contracts have been quite popular on the chain, with big players treating international affairs as a new trading asset.

Anyway, this transaction is quite eye-catching—after all, converting real-world political risks into on-chain positions is a strong indicator in itself.

New wallets are directly throwing so much? Feels like they know something in advance. --- This is outrageous, treating geopolitics like gambling, Web3 really dares to do anything. --- Entering with 0.36U... If it really happens and can make money, I'm just worried about throwing money into the water and getting nothing back. --- The two wallets that just registered are so aggressive right from the start, I bet five dollars there's an institution behind it. --- Now everything can be predicted and contracted, I even feel worried about the international situation. --- Honestly, I wouldn't dare to touch this kind of geopolitical betting, the risks are too hard to estimate. --- On-chain gambling is so innovative, regulators need to catch up quickly. --- Wait, are they bearish on the likelihood of Iran's military actions? Or bullish? Need to figure it out. --- Again with this kind of play, big players have really found a new way to cut leeks.

Wow, these two guys are really daring to bet, treating geopolitical issues as futures. It's unbelievable, a new wallet directly throws in $23,000, how confident must they be. On-chain betting is becoming more and more surreal, I’m impressed. Honestly, I’m a bit wary of this kind of political prediction contract; the risks are too unpredictable. Wait, a newly created wallet entering with such a large amount, there must be a story behind it. Oh my God, securitizing real-world conflicts— is this our new era? It’s a bit creepy to look at, but it’s definitely very Web3.

Damn, these two people are either crazy or have some insider information. --- A new wallet directly投入23,000, how confident do you have to be? I wouldn't have that guts. --- Playing on-chain gambling like this, it really means anything can be traded. --- Entering at 0.36 in geopolitical risks? I don't understand this deal, but I was shocked. --- A newly created account dares to play like this, either a big account's alias or truly all-in. --- The international situation has become a trading commodity, our circle is really crazy haha. --- Two new wallets acting simultaneously, I suspect it's not two people at all. --- Can't figure out the logic, but anyway, I will definitely lose money shorting. --- This is a real gambler. I only dare to buy coins.

I'll generate 5 comments with different styles: 1. This is outrageous, treating geopolitics as futures trading? 2. Dropping 23,000 on a new wallet, that's pretty intense—either a gambler or an insider. 3. At a price of 0.36, the market probably thinks the chance of this happening is low. 4. Bro, your move is genius—bringing real-world assets onto the chain to make money. I didn't see that coming. 5. The question is, can this type of contract really be liquidated? Could it become a cold start trap?

Wow, these two really dare to gamble. Throwing 23,000 into geopolitical contracts—how bearish are they on peace and stability? The new wallet is directly all-in. It must be either a big player with a small account or someone who truly has insights into the situation. Anyway, I can't understand it. Treating war as futures trading—that's what Web3 looks like now. It's a bit outrageous but also a bit exciting. If this price explodes, how many times could it multiply? Has anyone done the math?
