April 21, 2026 - April 22, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' plummeted from 25c to 11.5c, as the market began to price in the extreme technical and political difficulties of socializing losses across 20+ chains and forcing unaffected Ethereum mainnet users to take a haircut. April 19, 2026 - April 20, 2026, the price of Option_'Yes' fell sharply from 47.5c to 25.5c, because as details of the $292M exploit emerged and a blame game between LayerZero and Kelp DAO started, hopes for a swift, coordinated loss-mutualization plan faded.

April 21, 2026 - April 24, 2026: Anthropic's price dipped from 83c to 69.5c before rebounding strongly to 90.5c, while OpenAI's price surged from 13.7c to a peak of 27.8c before plummeting back to 9.5c.
