This market trades on who TIME will name as its 2026 Person of the Year. It matters because TIME's choice is a high-visibility editorial judgment that often captures who or what shaped the year’s public conversation.
TIME's Person of the Year is an annual editorial selection, typically announced with a cover story late in the year, recognizing the individual, group, or idea judged most influential for that calendar year. The 2026 choice will reflect major political, cultural, technological, or social developments from 2026 and the editors’ assessment of influence and impact.
Market prices reflect traders’ collective expectations about TIME's decision and move quickly with new information; treat prices as real-time signals about market sentiment rather than a window into TIME’s internal deliberations.
The market will resolve based on TIME's official Person of the Year announcement or cover as specified by the exchange's resolution rules; TIME typically publishes the selection with a cover story late in the year, and traders should consult the contract terms for the precise resolution trigger.
This market currently lists 10 outcomes. If TIME's official announcement does not exactly match any listed outcome, resolution follows the exchange's rules for non-matching outcomes—check the market's contract terms or resolution policy for whether a void, nearest match, or other settlement applies.
Yes. TIME has in the past chosen joint winners, groups, or symbolic subjects; settlement depends on whether TIME's published wording matches an outcome exactly and on the exchange's policy for multi-person or non-individual choices—review the market’s resolution criteria for details.
Major breaking events, decisive leadership actions, high-profile achievements or scandals, widely amplified cultural moments, and any editorial signals from TIME (interviews, teasers, or cover shoot activity) are the most likely to change trader expectations.
Confirm the selection on TIME's official website and social channels and in the magazine's cover story; also watch reputable news outlets for the announcement and consult the exchange's official resolution notices and contract documentation to verify how the market will be settled.
