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

Prediction markets are booming - but Philipp Tsagalov, 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.
