US Treasury Secretary Bessent has denied claims that Iran received $14 billion from sanctions relief, and the probability of a US-Iran nuclear deal by April 30 has dropped to 7.4% YES, down from 20% yesterday.
Market reaction
The nuclear deal market has fallen from 38% a week ago to 7.4% today. Bessent’s statement reinforces a hardline US stance and reduces the likelihood of concessions. The market expects no last-minute breakthrough within the 7-day window.
Why it matters
Trading volume sits at $11,881 in actual USDC. The order book is thin enough that $2,254 can move the price five points, which signals low participation and weak conviction on both sides. The largest single move was a 2-point drop at 9:47 AM, a gradual reassessment rather than a sharp selloff.
For Trump’s agreement to Iranian demands, a similar bearish shift is expected. Bessent’s rejection of sanctions relief implies no softening on the US side. With no current trading volume in that market, those odds likely track the nuclear deal’s downward move.
What to watch
Bessent’s denial is significant but not necessarily definitive. The source tier tempers its impact, though the market has already repriced expectations sharply lower. For contrarians, a YES share at 7.4¢ pays $1 if a deal is announced by April 30, a 13.5x return. To justify that bet, you’d need confidence in a rapid diplomatic shift.
Watch for any surprises from the White House or unexpected mediation efforts, especially from Oman or Turkey. Any credible reports of resumed talks could move this market fast.
