E87: AttentionFi Explained: Betting on Taylor Swift, Trump & Elon (Trendle CEO Philipp Tsagolov)

About this episode

Philipp Tsagolov discusses the concept of AttentionFi and the future of prediction markets focused on online attention.

Prediction markets are booming - but Philipp Tsag o lov , CEO & co-founder of Trendle , believes the next frontier is attention . In this episode, we talk about “AttentionFi”: markets that let you trade whether a person or topic will gain or lose mindshare online, using an attention index built from signals across X/Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit. We also get into why meme coins were an early, chaotic form of attention trading, why perps-style mechanics fit attention better than binary markets, and what Trendle is building next as it moves from closed beta toward a broader launch.
