We're talking real money here—$1.37M in USDC daily volume, with surprisingly decent liquidity across sub-markets. One $15,138 order can挪动 the April 7 market by 5 whole points. The biggest recent pump was a 4-point surge on the April 30 contract, suggesting some smooth-brained degens are playing the long game on geopolitical détente.
