Will Bitcoin Outperform Gold By End of 2025? (Polymarket - Active)
Market volume: $56,113 | Resolution: December 31, 2025
Polymarket traders place a 21% chance that Bitcoin will outperform gold by the end of this year.
This is a rebound from lows. It mirrors X’s hot #BitcoinVsGold clash today. Gold is trending upward, while Bitcoin is sliding.
However, the Crypto Basic spotlights CZ’s 1,315% surge prediction for Bitcoin. Bettors split: old-school safety seekers vs. digital bulls. Finance Yahoo flags the “value gap,” drawing in hopefuls eyeing Bitcoin’s narrative edge.
So, are you still a firm believer that BTC will hit all green lights this year? Go ahead and price in your predictions on Groovy Market.

Inflation in November? (Kalshi - Active)
Market volume: $970 | Resolution: December 10, 2025
Will inflation be above 3% in November? Kalshi traders are still split on it.
So far, the odds of inflation hitting 3% are at 53%, at least on Kalshi.
This prediction is tied to many factors, including gold’s surge, per CNBC’s supply chain alerts. As gold hedges inflation, Bitcoin’s volatility scares off the timid.
Google Gemini 3 Flash Release Date? (Manifold - Active)
Unique traders: 27 | Total liquidity: 1,000+ | Resolution: 2026
The release timing of Google’s next major AI model, Gemini 3.0, remains a hot topic across multiple Manifold markets.
While this specific market points to late November, others show varying probabilities for release before year-end or even as early as the second week of November.
The high collective interest (significant liquidity across related markets) highlights the intense anticipation within the tech community. Each percentage shift reflects speculation based on rumored progress, competitor moves (like OpenAI), or official hints from Google.

Final Take
Gold just made history, and Bitcoin paused for breath.
In prediction markets, that means quick, small bets when the price chops. Keep an eye on whether gold holds its gains and if Bitcoin finds its footing. Their back-and-forth dance may signal broader risk appetite in the days ahead.
