Verifact Markets, a new startup, launched on October 5, 2026, offering a platform for users to wager on the truth of disputed historical events. The platform allows participants to trade on topics such as the origins of Covid-19 and the circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death. Users can submit evidence for or against claims, and the company will evaluate this evidence to determine outcomes. The startup is funded by Positron Capital Management, led by tech investor Peter Wokwicz, who aims to settle debates on controversial issues. Currently, Verifact Markets is only available to users outside the United States as it navigates legal considerations regarding prediction markets. The platform operates using stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency pegged to fiat currency values. The CEO, Rodrigo Aquino, emphasized that the markets will not solely dictate truth but will consider various evidence and documentation submitted by users. The company is also in talks with market makers to provide liquidity for its markets.
