BATTLE TRADE

We made finance
multiplayer.

Trading has always been single-player. We turned it into a game you play with other people.

BATTLE TRADE
Why now

Three things just
converged.

01
Everyone is becoming a trader
Perps and prediction markets are the two fastest-growing instruments in finance. Every asset, every event, every person is becoming tradable.
02
A generation that wants in
18 to 36 year olds, raised on sports betting and getting rich online, want to learn to trade and break out.
03
Trading is entertainment
Media consumption finally caught up. Live, on-camera trading is the content people watch and play.

BATTLE TRADE
The problem

Trading today is
single-player.

01
You learn alone
PDFs, YouTube, and blowing up a real account. Nobody better than you is in the room.
02
You trade alone
Just you against the chart. No opponents, no rooms, no audience, no game.
03
You learn slowly
Feedback comes weeks later, in dollars, after you have already lost. Even "social trading" is just copying a stranger.

Everything else people love to do online became multiplayer. Trading never did.

BATTLE TRADE
The product

The other people
are the point.

Learn with others
Fast lessons get you in, but the real teacher is the competition. You learn trading the way you learn any game: by playing people better than you.
Play against others
Real head-to-head battles on live markets. Stake a pot, trade the window, best PnL on the buzzer takes it. A winner and a loser, the part that never existed in trading.
Get better, fast
Multiplayer collapses the feedback loop: live opponents, a leaderboard moving in real time, a rank you climb. Tight feedback is how anyone gets good at anything.
Everyone earns
Host a battle and take a cut. Stream it and turn an audience into income. Or spectate. Players, hosts, streamers, viewers, like any real multiplayer game.

Duolingo for the learning, esports for the competition, Twitch for the streaming. The category underneath is multiplayer finance. We make the tools; the people make it a game.

BATTLE TRADE
Engagement & retention

The losing problem,
solved by design.

01
Modes for every mood
Practice range, ranked head-to-head, live broadcast tournaments. The loops people already give thousands of hours to.
02
A no-liquidation on-ramp
Hand a player $100, they keep positive PnL and earn at every volume and trade threshold. Limited downside, real upside, grind as long as you want.
03
A reason to come back
Credits, partner rewards, Trader Score, and rivalries that carry across sessions.

BATTLE TRADE
The model

They built the venue.
We built the league.

What players play, audiences watch
The league
Battle Trade's competitions, trader profiles, and broadcasts sit on top of any exchange.
↓ every battle routes real volume and brings the audience ↓
What venues plug into
Every exchange is a customer
CEX, DEX, or prediction market. Builder-code integration, we split volume and fees. Even competitors become customers.

Venue-agnostic by design. Trade wherever you want; Battle Trade earns the same way through the trader profile and the escrow.

07 / 16
BATTLE TRADE
Who plays, who pays

Players bring the volume.
Venues pay for it.

Who plays
18 to 36, sports-gambling native. Wants to learn to trade and break out. Reached through 96 trader-creators and the campus circuit, not paid ads.
Who pays
Every exchange. CEX, DEX, and prediction market. They pay for the real volume and the new traders the game routes to them.

Two-sided by design. We acquire players cheaply through creators; venues pay us for the volume those players bring.

BATTLE TRADE
Distribution

The audience exchanges
cannot buy.

96 trader-creators on the roster, reach from thousands to millions each. They stream live under Battle Trade branding with their own affiliate codes, and every trader gets an esports profile. University circuit next: club vs club.
