The market “Will Trump be in the WC Champions Photo?” surged 37.4 percentage points in the past 24 hours, with the YES price climbing from 62.0% to 99.4% as of July 20, 2026. This dramatic repricing coincided with strong whale activity aligned with the price move, as whales net bought $1.11 million into the YES side.

The contract attracted 2,422 unique traders overall, indicating broad engagement beyond whale investors.
The alignment between whale flow and price action confirms that large investors were active participants in pushing the probability toward near certainty rather than countering the market trend.
