What They’re Up To

This is the first and only federally regulated exchange where individuals can trade on the outcome of events. Think of it as the NYSE, but instead of trading stocks, users trade on events they know and care about. With over 500 markets spanning politics, economics, finance, weather, technology, AI, culture, and more, it’s reshaping how people engage with predictions and outcomes.

After three years of navigating regulatory challenges, the platform secured historic approval from the CFTC, enabling the launch of a new asset class: event contracts. These contracts, designed as straightforward yes/no questions about the future, represent one of the fastest-growing asset classes today.

The vision is to build a next-generation financial ecosystem, revolutionizing trading with what could become the largest asset class of all. This is an ambitious endeavor, exploring uncharted territories on a long journey. The company seeks passionate, exceptional individuals ready to join this transformative mission to redefine the financial system.
