Polymarket “Explodes” With a Series of Weird Bets in 2025: From Jesus Christ Returning to Trump Being Satoshi Nakamoto
While the traditional financial market is still focused on interest rates and Bitcoin prices, Polymarket – the famous decentralized prediction platform – has attracted global attention with its bizarre and incredibly irrational bets. In 2025, these crazy “bets” not only make waves in the crypto community, but also reflect a part of the “degenerate” culture that is exploding in the DeFi world.
๐๏ธ 1. “Will Jesus Christ Return Before GTA VI Release?”
After Rockstar Games continued to postpone the release of GTA VI to fall 2026, Polymarket immediately became the center of attention with an impossible question:
๐ “Will Jesus Christ Return Before GTA VI Release?”
Before the postponement announcement, the percentage of people betting on this possibility was only 20%, but immediately jumped to 48% — reflecting the “desperate” and humorous sentiment of the gaming and speculator communities.
The total amount of bets exceeded $3.6 million, making “Second Coming” one of the most active markets on Polymarket in 2025.
๐ฅ 2. “Did Trump say the word ‘hottest’ in the meeting with the British Prime Minister?”
While the international political scene is tense, Polymarket users are “interested” in the smallest details:
๐ Did President Donald Trump use the phrase “hottest” in the meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer?
It sounds absurd, but this market attracted more than $1.3 million in bets.
The result: Trump did not say the word “hottest”, but controversy broke out when some people thought he used a similar word. Polymarket had to review the data to confirm the results – proof that “everyone is willing to bet on anything, as long as they can win quickly”.
๐ฝ 3. “Will the US confirm the existence of aliens in 2025?”
Despite NASA’s claim that there is no scientific evidence of extraterrestrial life, many users still believe that a shocking announcement will come before the end of the year.
The question “Will the US confirm the existence of aliens in 2025?” attracted $4.6 million in bets.
The “Yes” rate once jumped to 14% after a UFO report in California, but is now down to 4%.
Some even bet that “TIME’s Person of the Year 2025 will not be human” – adding a layer of ironic humor to the game.
๐ 4. “Is the Earth flat?”
Despite being scientifically proven for hundreds of years, Polymarket’s “Flat Earth Market” is still alive and kicking — and surprisingly, there are real players.
Around $200,000 has been wagered on the question “Will there be proof of a flat Earth by the end of 2025?”
The odds of winning are currently under 1%, but as many traders joke: “Bet $100 and get $10,000 back — if the world turns out to be a plate, I’ll be rich before it collapses.”
โฟ 5. “Is Trump Satoshi Nakamoto?”
The most classic question in crypto – “Who created Bitcoin?” – has been taken to a satirical new level by Polymarket:
๐ Will Donald Trump be confirmed as Satoshi Nakamoto by 2025?
Despite being an obvious joke, the market still attracts tens of thousands of dollars in bets. Some even cite “anecdotal evidence” like Trump praising Bitcoin, or old tweets that are said to be “cryptographically hidden.”
๐ฌ When Beliefs and Memes Become Markets
Polymarket allows users to bet with the stablecoin USDC on real-life events, from politics to climate to… religion.
Interestingly, these strange markets are not just jokes – they reflect the collective psyche of the online community, where beliefs, memes, and speculation blend into a unique social phenomenon.
