The cryptocurrency prediction market just got a little weirder.
The rise of prediction betting markets for cryptocurrency grew massive during the 2024 election, with millions of cryptocurrency holders betting on the 2024 election.
But now cryptocurrency holders are betting on a new event, the return of Jesus Christ.
On Polymarket, a prediction platform, there has been over $160,932 bet on the return of Jesus.

Per Business Standard:
Could the second coming of Jesus Christ happen in 2025? While beliefs about divine or prophetic returns exist across many religions, the idea of Jesus coming back to Earth holds particular significance in Christianity. Now, that age-old theological debate has taken a digital twist, with cryptocurrency geeks betting real money on this possibility through a blockchain-based prediction market.
Yes, you read that right. On Polymarket, a decentralised prediction platform, users are betting on whether Jesus will make a literal return by the end of 2025. The market has already seen over $160,932 in trading volume, and the bets are being placed in cryptocurrency.
Polymarket operates on blockchain technology—essentially a decentralised digital ledger—and uses crypto tokens to let users speculate on real-world events. The rules of this divine betting are specific: if Jesus returns to Earth by 11:59 pm on December 31, 2025, the market will resolve in favour of “Yes”. The outcome, surprisingly, will be determined based on consensus among credible sources—though what qualifies as “credible” in this context remains vague.
According to a report by Bitcoin.com, the odds currently favour the “No” outcome. If someone bets that Jesus will not return in 2025 and they are correct, they stand to win over $13,000—a tidy sum, but one that hinges on perhaps the most uncertain prophecy in human history.
