**NewSight**, formerly known as **VIZO**, is an AI-native news and prediction market platform that turns headlines into tradable on-chain outcomes across crypto, artificial intelligence (AI), macroeconomics, and real-world events. The platform presents itself under the tagline "Trade Every Headline. Trade What You Know." and delivers markets as a fast, personalized, scrollable feed that it likens to "TikTok for markets."[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6) Incubated by the Pharos network and based in Hong Kong, NewSight positions itself as the first prediction market integrated with Pharos.[[2]](#cite-id-fby6sb3pa7)[[3]](#cite-id-3xjdd82ooj)

## Overview

NewSight is built around the idea that "The Feed Is the Market." Rather than presenting prediction markets as static lists, the platform structures live news items — geopolitical events, crypto narratives, K-pop drops, and macro shifts — into tradable markets in real time, each rendered as a card that a user can act on with a single tap.[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6) A prediction market is a venue where participants buy and sell positions on the outcome of future events, so that prices reflect the crowd's collective estimate of how likely each outcome is; NewSight applies this model to a continuous stream of current-affairs content.

The platform describes itself consistently across its channels as an "AI-native news feed prediction market platform," a framing repeated on its website, its X (formerly Twitter) account @NewSightHQ, and its Telegram channel.[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6)[[2]](#cite-id-fby6sb3pa7)[[4]](#cite-id-d0mc88voaj) Its X account, which joined the service in October 2025, reported 48,100 followers, and its Telegram channel, NewSight_News, listed 18,595 subscribers.[[2]](#cite-id-fby6sb3pa7)[[4]](#cite-id-d0mc88voaj)

## How It Works

At the center of the product is a live, personalized feed in which every headline becomes a tradable outcome. Each item is automatically mapped into one or more live prediction markets, and each card enables a one-tap trade, allowing users to take a position directly from the stream of news.[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6)

The platform pairs this feed with what it calls an "always-on research desk" driven by AI, positioned as a trading co-pilot. NewSight states that this system performs continuous signal ingestion — 24/7 tracking across global media and social sources — automatic market mapping that converts news into live prediction markets, and decision intelligence that supplies context, variables, and signals for each event.[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6) The company has also described a forthcoming feature called "Deep Agent," which it says will provide autonomous research and execution carried out with user approval.[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6)

### Social UGC Markets

NewSight extends market creation beyond its own team through what it calls Social UGC (user-generated content) Markets. Under this model, anyone can launch a market, and creators, key opinion leaders (KOLs), and communities are meant to turn audience attention into trading liquidity.[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6) This design ties the platform's growth to the distribution reach of the individuals and communities that create markets.

## Technical Foundation

NewSight states that it runs a hybrid [automated market maker (AMM)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/automated-market-maker) model that combines a logarithmic market scoring rule (LMSR) with a pooled liquidity design. An AMM prices assets algorithmically rather than through a traditional order book, and LMSR is a mechanism commonly used in prediction markets to set prices and bound the market maker's loss. The company says the hybrid approach delivers smoother pricing, better liquidity across all markets, stronger incentives for [liquidity providers](https://iq.wiki/wiki/liquidity-providers) (LPs), and AI-tuned market efficiency.[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6)

The platform states it is built natively on X Layer, a scalable [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) infrastructure it says supports high-frequency interactions.[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6) The company additionally frames NewSight as the first prediction market integrated with the Pharos network, enabling on-chain trading across its core categories.[[3]](#cite-id-3xjdd82ooj)

## Market Focus and Ecosystem

NewSight targets Asia and Africa, which it describes as the regions where growth is fastest. The company states it has access to more than one million users through regional networks, strong distribution via KOLs and creators, a mobile-first adoption strategy, and localized execution it argues Western platforms lack.[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6)

The platform describes several ecosystem integrations aimed at onboarding, liquidity, and distribution. It integrates with [OKX](https://iq.wiki/wiki/okx) Wallet to enable user onboarding, aligns with the [Bitget](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bitget) ecosystem to expand liquidity and distribution, and reports an integration with [Polymarket](https://iq.wiki/wiki/polymarket) — an established prediction market — to enhance liquidity and broaden market coverage.[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6) Its incubation by Pharos and backing by a wallet partner are presented by the account as part of the same ecosystem strategy.[[2]](#cite-id-fby6sb3pa7)

## Tradathon Competitions

NewSight runs recurring trading competitions branded as "Tradathon," staged in successive seasons. The platform reports that Tradathon Season 1 (S1) was a 15-day competition in which users participated, voted, and predicted market outcomes, drawing more than 100,000 participants and more than $345 million in trading volume, both figures self-reported by the platform.[[1]](#cite-id-2v47sbdfx6) Results were also published for Seasons 1 and 2, and Season 3 was reported as live in the project's overview material.[[3]](#cite-id-3xjdd82ooj)

Tradathon Season 4, run in partnership with Pharos, went live on September 14, 2025, and was scheduled to run through September 27, 2025, structured as two weekly rounds with a bonus pool for traders active across both weeks.[[2]](#cite-id-fby6sb3pa7) The advertised prize pool comprised 20,000 PROS tokens, 10 million NewSight Points (also referenced as NSI Points), and hardware and [stablecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) prizes including a MacBook Air, an iPhone duo, an iPhone 18 Pro, and USDT.[[2]](#cite-id-fby6sb3pa7) At the close of Week 1 on September 20, 2025, the platform reported its top trader (address 0xb0…80bd) with $2,850 in volume and an award of 800 PROS, followed by a second-place trader (0x98…9ccb) with $2,014 in volume.[[2]](#cite-id-fby6sb3pa7)

During the Season 4 window, on September 20, 2025, NewSight took the platform offline for a system upgrade, during which trading and new user registrations were temporarily suspended; it announced later the same day that the upgrade and related testing had been completed and that trading and registrations were back online.[[2]](#cite-id-fby6sb3pa7)

The platform has continued to add event categories tied to real-world politics. It announced that United States election markets were live, opening trading on seven Senate races and the Texas Governor race framed as 2026 U.S. election contests, where users choose "Yes" or "No" on who they expect to win and trade the position.[[2]](#cite-id-fby6sb3pa7)

## NewSight Lab Research

NewSight operates a research arm, NewSight Lab, which produced a study titled "When KOSPI Speaks, Korea Local Elections Listen," examining the relationship between the KOSPI — South Korea's benchmark stock index — and the country's local elections. The document states the research became an Amazon Best Seller, ranking #4 in Campaigns & Elections and #21 in Investing [Strategies](https://iq.wiki/wiki/strategy).[[3]](#cite-id-3xjdd82ooj)

The research was donated to and displayed in the library collections of three universities: Stony Brook University in the United States (identified as U.S. national rank #59), Chung-Ang University in South Korea (identified as Korean national rank #5–10), and aSSIST University in Seoul.[[3]](#cite-id-3xjdd82ooj)

## Community and Ambassadors

NewSight relies heavily on distribution through ambassadors and KOLs, reporting support from more than 200 ambassadors and KOLs. Among the voices it lists are the accounts @BD_GemX, @CapCapital68, and @Grypto_Hunter.[[3]](#cite-id-3xjdd82ooj) This network is aligned with the platform's Social UGC and Asia–Africa distribution strategies, in which creators and communities are meant to seed markets and channel their audiences into trading activity. The project maintains its primary public presence through its website, its X account @NewSightHQ, and its Telegram channel NewSight_News.[[2]](#cite-id-fby6sb3pa7)[[4]](#cite-id-d0mc88voaj)
