Between April 27, 2026 and April 29, 2026, the prices of numerous fringe or absurd options (e.g., Chelsea Clinton, Kim Kardashian, George Clooney, Bernie Sanders, Jon Stewart, etc.) surged from under 5c to roughly 20c-30c. This is highly likely caused by a single entity's large irrational buy orders (or malicious manipulation/slippage due to shallow order book liquidity) triggering market-wide spikes.
Prior to April 2026, no options moved by more than 10 cents, and prices were generally overvalued (clustering around 40c).
