Fed Decision in September? (Kalshi - Resolved)
Volume: $91,819,656 | Resolution: Cut 25bps
For the first time since December 2024, the Fed has finally issued a quarter-point rate cut. They’ve been under pressure following the weaker-than-expected job data and cooling CPI prints in August.
Unlike the wild swings in other market categories like crypto, this Fed rate cut market has been a slow-moving certainty that has been building for weeks.
Finally, we have an answer. And it’s a rate cut, indeed.
D4vd Arrested By September 30? (Polymarket - Active)
Volume: $9,845 | Resolution: September 30, 2025
This market exploded overnight, with the probability of an arrest jumping an astonishing 1,091% in the last 24 hours on Polymarket.
Rumors of the young artist d4vd’s legal troubles have spilled from TikTok to X, where #d4vd trended yesterday. The market sits around 80% yes, fueled by court filings and viral videos claiming “evidence.”
A similar market on Manifold shows a 79% chance, indicating cross-platform agreement on the likely outcome.
Jimmy Kimmel Live Back On Air By the End of October? (Manifold - Active)
Unique traders: 24 | Total liquidity: $1,000+ | Resolution: October 31, 2025
After some controversial remarks on the Charlie Kirk news, the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after controversial remarks has bled into prediction markets. Entertainment news (Variety) suggests ABC executives are weighing advertiser pressure against Kimmel’s contract.
How fast does the cancel culture cycle turn in 2025? Is Jimmy Kimmel in serious jeopardy?
Who Will Be TIME Magazine's 2025 Person of the Year? (Manifold - Active)
Unique traders: 1,000+ | Total liquidity: $46,000+ | Resolution: December 11, 2025
It’s a cultural Rorschach test: Pope Leo XIV (27%), AI as a concept (25%), and Trump/Vance (7%). The inclusion of AI is striking. Markets are already treating “technology” as a person. That says more about 2025’s zeitgeist than any magazine cover.
Historically, TIME has leaned toward figures symbolic of broader change, so don’t count out AI’s odds here (see TIME’s 1982 “Machine of the Year”).
