XO Market is the first conviction marketplace, enabling anyone to create and trade markets based on their strongly held beliefs.
In a conviction market, users stake financial value behind their level of confidence in an outcome, either by creating a market on that outcome or trading shares in it. This approach removes traditional gatekeepers to market creation, bringing liquidity and insight to previously inaccessible or niche topics.
XO Market is currently in Open Beta. The platform is live with real USDC trading, open market creation, continuous Conviction Points (CP) rewards, and integrated fiat and crypto deposits. Anyone can sign up directly and start using the platform.
XO Market is backed by 20VC and Picus Capital, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Ventures Together, Foreword VC, and pre-seed investors Delphi Ventures and Cyber Fund. Over 30 angel investors from sports, gaming, and crypto have also joined, including Pat Cummins (captain of the Australian cricket team), Michele Attisani (founder of FACEIT), and Sidney Gakpo (co-founder of CMG Nexus).
