What Markets Will Netty Launch With?

Netty launches with earnings, macro releases, and crypto price movements—not elections or sports. See why we're building for financial traders, not casual bettors.

We're not launching with presidential elections or pop culture bets. Netty is purpose-built for financial event risk.

Our launch markets fall into four categories:

1. Major Tech Earnings AAPL, MSFT, NVDA quarterly EPS. Numerical markets (ranges) and binary markets (beat/miss). Daily and weekly expirations around earnings dates. These are high-signal, high-volume events where precise hedging matters.

2. Macro Releases CPI, Unemployment (NFP), Fed decisions. Markets that institutions actually need to hedge. Not entertainment—risk management. Numerical markets for exact readings; binary for directional bets.

3. Crypto Price Movements "BTC price at Friday close" in $1K ranges. ETH moves around major upgrades. Not perpetual speculation—discrete event windows with clear settlement.

4. Energy & Commodities Crude oil inventory reports. Natural gas storage numbers. Events that professionals trade in traditional markets but struggle to hedge precisely.

What's NOT on the list:

  • Political outcomes (other platforms do this well)

  • Sports (not our focus)

  • Entertainment/pop culture (not financial)

The strategy: Start narrow, go deep.

We'd rather have the best markets for 10 financial events than mediocre markets for 1,000 random outcomes. Depth beats breadth. Professional market makers would rather trade 5 markets with tight spreads than 500 markets with no liquidity.

Each market gets:

  • Oracle infrastructure (multiple feeds, threshold verification)

  • Dedicated market-making incentives

  • Event calendar integration

  • Historical settlement data

The goal isn't to be the biggest prediction market. It's to be the best prediction market for financial events.

More markets come later. Infrastructure comes first. Liquidity follows quality.

Launch lineup ships with Numerical + Binary, portfolio margin, sub-10ms execution, and professional order types. Everything else is details.
