Verifact Markets, a newly launched startup, describes itself as a “prediction market for disputed facts.” It invites participants to wager on controversial historical questions, such as whether Covid‑19 originated from a laboratory and whether Apollo 11 moon‑landing footage was actually filmed on Earth. The platform aims to tap into public interest in debating these unresolved claims. By framing these topics as tradable contracts, Verifact hopes to generate data on collective judgments about contested events.
