4-bullet brief | narrative

Polymarket prices Kurdish Regional Government independence from Iraq at 8%, a tail risk, not a base case.
$70K in 24h represents 26% of all-time volume, the second-largest single-day draw on this contract.
Fresh attention at 8% suggests geopolitical developments, regional diplomacy, Baghdad tensions, or U.S. posture, are prompting reassessment.
Contract resolves if KRG formally declares independence before December 31, 2026.
