About STX
At its core, STX is a technology company building a state of the art trading exchange for sports event contracts. Built on a modern day technology stack, the exchange is positioned to enable a new class of market participants to provide liquidity in sports event markets. Bringing traditional capital market principles into the world of sports will provide a stronger level of consumer protection, tighter pricing, and more volume.
On the STX exchange users buy or sell event contracts on the outcome of sporting events. If the event resolves “YES” the contract settles at $1, and if “NO” it settles at $0. Every trade is between two users at a price both accept: you trade against the market, not the house, so there are no restrictive limits, outright bans, or discounted “cash-outs”. Sports fans have long wanted transparency, reliability, and engagement. On STX, you will get all of that and more.

Management Team
Justin Deutsch
Justin Deutsch has spent his career trading in various financial markets including spot, futures, and options markets. After starting his career trading soft commodities and index options for Belvedere, he moved on to start XV Cryptoasset Management, a crypto fund he managed for 3 years. He is also an avid sports fan and is extremely familiar with sports markets.
Having come up with the idea for STX while in college, Justin decided to wait for the regulatory environment surrounding sports markets in the USA to change before pursuing building the technology. After 18 months focusing on product development, Justin believes STX now has the ideal combination of financial markets experience, industry relationships, and a build first mentality positioning it to be a leader in the sports trading industry.
