A New Chapter: Toronto Becomes Vancouver

We're excited to announce that the Toronto Prediction Exchange has officially rebranded to the Vancouver Prediction Exchange (VPX). After careful consideration, we've made the decision to relocate our operations from Toronto to Vancouver, bringing our platform to the heart of the West Coast.

Our Mission

At VPX, our mission remains the same: to build the most integrous and accessible prediction market platform in Canada.

We believe that prediction markets in Canada should be regulated and Canadian-owned. As foreign exchanges grow their presence in this space, Canadians risk being exposed to fraud, insider trading, and market manipulation — with little to no recourse available to them. A domestically regulated exchange ensures that Canadian participants are protected by Canadian securities law, overseen by Canadian regulators, and served by an organization that is accountable to the communities it operates in.

Market integrity is at the foundation of everything we build. VPX has a zero-tolerance policy for insider trading, market manipulation, fraud, and money laundering. We are focused on market integrity from day one, and it will always be a core part of our foundation. Canadians deserve a prediction exchange they can trust — one where the rules are clear, enforcement is real, and every participant trades on a level playing field.

Transparency, fairness, and accessibility are at the core of everything we do.

Controlled Pilot Program

Before launching broadly, VPX plans to operate a controlled pilot program in partnership with a select group of CIRO-registered dealers. The British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) will serve as our lead regulator throughout this process.

As part of the pilot, we are seeking exemptive relief from BC Notice 2017/02 and Multilateral Instrument 91-102 to allow prediction market contracts to be offered and traded under a controlled regulatory framework. We believe this measured approach demonstrates our commitment to working within — and helping to shape — Canada's securities regulatory landscape.

The pilot is expected to run for 6 to 12 months, during which we will gather data, refine our operations, and demonstrate that prediction markets can function safely and transparently within Canadian capital markets. At the conclusion of the pilot, VPX intends to formally apply for Recognition as an Exchange under British Columbia securities law.

Dealer Partnerships

As we grow, we're actively seeking dealers to become the first official members of the Exchange. If you're a CIRO-registered dealer interested in offering prediction market products to your clients, we'd love to hear from you.

Partnering with VPX makes you a member of the first and only Canadian Prediction Exchange.

We're looking for partners who share our vision of making prediction markets a mainstream tool for better decision-making. Reach out to us at hello@vancouverpx.ca to start the conversation.

Our Stance on Gambling

We believe that prediction markets must inherently carry economic value — otherwise, they fall under the umbrella of gambling. Betting on the outcome of a sporting event or the winner of an Oscar's award, for instance, does not serve a price discovery or hedging function. These activities are best regulated by the various gaming commissions, and will not be offered on our Exchange.

VPX is focused exclusively on markets that produce meaningful economic signals — contracts that help participants hedge risk, inform decision-making, and contribute to a better understanding of real-world outcomes. This distinction is central to our identity as an exchange, not a gambling platform.

TPX Lives On

The original Toronto Prediction Exchange site will remain available as a free demo and testing environment. It operates entirely with fake money, so it's the perfect place to learn how prediction markets work, experiment with trading strategies, or just explore the platform risk-free. No real funds are involved — think of it as a sandbox for forecasting.

Whether you're new to prediction markets or a seasoned trader looking to test ideas, TPX will continue to be there for you.
