A new prediction market on the EveryX platform is capturing speculator interest, allowing users to wager on who will be named TIME Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2025. The event provides a real-time look at public sentiment on who is most likely to secure the iconic title.
BitPinas is partnering with EveryX to add market sentiment data and predication-based insights to our crypto and web3 coverage.
Who is in the Lead?
The EveryX platform allows participants to trade on the potential outcomes, offering up to 10x leverage and a maximum potential return of 467%. As of mid-October 2025, the market shows two clear frontrunners.
President Donald Trump and the broader category of “AI Leaders” are currently leading the market, with both options fluctuating between a 40% and 20% probability. Following them are entrepreneur Elon Musk and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who are trading in the 10% to 20% range.
Other notable contenders hold single-digit percentages, including U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and global pop star Taylor Swift. A general category for a “Group, Movement, or Concept” is also available for trading.
The market is set to close before the end of October, with the outcome to be determined by TIME’s official announcement in December. The platform will honor the individual, group, or concept featured on the magazine’s cover and named on its website.

What is TIME’s Person of the Year?
Since 1927, TIME’s Person of the Year has been a title given to the person, group, or idea that has most influenced world events over the past year—for better or worse. The final decision is made by TIME’s editors, not a reader poll, and is based on impact rather than endorsement.
Recent honorees include Donald Trump (2024), Taylor Swift (2023), Volodymyr Zelenskyy & the Spirit of Ukraine (2022), and Elon Musk (2021).
