2 prediction markets price this story:

  • Any psychedelic substance for medical use — the market puts it at 15%, with $126 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if the FDA approves any psychedelic substance for medical use before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked story about drug pricing as the deciding factor, but only an FDA approval counts toward resolution.
  • KPV — the market puts it at 85%, with $1 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Oct 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration publishes a proposed rule adding KPV (free base) or KPV acetate to the 503A Bulks List before October 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about compounding pharmacies for the official FDA action required for resolution.
