Whales have moved a net $1.14M into the YES side of the “Will France win the 2026 FIFA World Cup?” market in the past 24 hours, diverging from the current market-implied price of 38.6%. This activity stands out amid total market volume of $108.29M.

Over the same period, 854 unique whales bought $5.35M and sold $2.58M in this market, showing a clear directional preference toward France’s victory. This flow contrasts with the market’s pricing, suggesting a potential disconnect between large trader sentiment and broader market consensus.
