Fernando Carvalho define una nueva era para los mercados de predicciĂłn en Brasil con VoxFi

fernando-carvalho-define-una-nueva-era-para-los-mercados-de-prediccion-en-brasil-con-voxfi

La expansiĂłn global de los mercados de predicciĂłn estĂĄ comenzando a redefinir la forma en que los usuarios interactĂșan con la informaciĂłn, la probabilidad y el engagement digital.

Ubicadas en la intersecciĂłn entre finanzas, tecnologĂ­a y datos de comportamiento, estas plataformas estĂĄn ganando tracciĂłn como una forma estructurada de transformar la inteligencia colectiva en pronĂłsticos medibles sobre eventos futuros.

En Brasil, este segmento emergente aĂșn se encuentra en una etapa inicial, pero la combinaciĂłn de una audiencia digital altamente comprometida, la reciente evoluciĂłn regulatoria en sectores adyacentes como fintech y cripto, y la bĂșsqueda constante de nuevos modelos de engagement dentro del iGaming, crea un entorno fĂ©rtil para el crecimiento.

Es en este contexto que VoxFi se posiciona como uno de los primeros actores estructurados dentro del ecosistema local.

La semana pasada, durante BiS SiGMA South America 2026 en São Paulo, la empresa presentó oficialmente su solución white label, diseñada para permitir que terceros integren mercados de predicción directamente en sus propios sitios web y aplicaciones.

VoxFi tambiĂ©n participĂł en el panel “Forecasting or Gambling? The Fine Line Between Prediction Markets and Bets”, donde el CEO y cofundador Fernando Carvalho analizĂł los lĂ­mites entre los modelos de predicciĂłn emergentes y las estructuras tradicionales de apuestas.

Ademås, la compañía fue seleccionada como una de las seis finalistas del Startup Pitch Competition del evento, reforzando su posicionamiento como un actor innovador en el sector.

La empresa, una plataforma brasileña enfocada en contratos de predicción basados en eventos, ha desarrollado una solución white label que permite a otras compañías integrar mercados de predicción directamente en sus propios entornos digitales.

A través de conectividad vía API, empresas de distintos sectores, desde medios y entretenimiento hasta telecomunicaciones, pueden ofrecer experiencias de predicción personalizadas bajo su propia marca, aprovechando la infraestructura, el marco de compliance y los mecanismos de liquidez de VoxFi.

A diferencia de los modelos tradicionales de apuestas, VoxFi opera bajo una lĂłgica peer to peer, donde los usuarios negocian contratos binarios, sĂ­ o no, basados en resultados futuros.

El precio de estos contratos refleja probabilidades percibidas, creando un entorno dinĂĄmico que se asemeja mĂĄs a los mercados financieros que a las estructuras de juego convencionales.

Todos los mercados pasan por un proceso interno de curadurĂ­a y validaciĂłn, con criterios de resoluciĂłn claramente definidos, estĂĄndares de compliance y sistemas de monitoreo.

La plataforma también incorpora pråcticas del mercado financiero como KYC obligatorio, monitoreo de transacciones y segregación de cuentas por evento, reforzando su posicionamiento como un ecosistema estructurado y responsable.

Fundada por Fernando Carvalho, conocido por su rol en el desarrollo del mercado de criptoactivos en Brasil a través de QR Capital, y Luis Felipe Carvalho, emprendedor fintech detrås de NG.CASH, VoxFi combina experiencia en innovación financiera con un producto diseñado para escalar y alinearse con la regulación.

En esta entrevista exclusiva, el CEO Fernando Carvalho explica las razones detrĂĄs de su entrada en un segmento aĂșn poco comprendido, el posicionamiento estratĂ©gico de VoxFi y lo que viene para los mercados de predicciĂłn en Brasil.

El mercado de predicciĂłn aĂșn no es ampliamente comprendido en Brasil. ÂżQuĂ© los llevĂł a apostar por este sector?
Fernando Carvalho
– Elegimos construir VoxFi porque los mercados de predicción son una de las formas más eficientes de transformar información dispersa en probabilidades sobre el futuro.

Agregan conocimiento colectivo de manera estructurada y transparente.

Observamos avances regulatorios importantes en Estados Unidos entre 2024 y 2025, lo que indicĂł que este modelo comenzarĂ­a a escalar globalmente.

Vimos un escenario similar al inicio del mercado cripto, un sector nuevo que requiere educaciĂłn, gobernanza sĂłlida y desarrollo gradual para alcanzar escala.

ÂżDĂłnde estĂĄ la lĂ­nea entre mercados de predicciĂłn y apuestas?
La diferencia es estructural. En los mercados de predicción, los usuarios negocian entre sí a través de un libro de órdenes y los precios reflejan probabilidades percibidas.

En las apuestas tradicionales, existe una casa que define las cuotas y asume el riesgo. AquĂ­ no hay casa, hay mercado.

VoxFi entra con un enfoque B2B. ¿Qué oportunidad identificaron?
El iGaming estĂĄ atravesando una transformaciĂłn en Brasil y los operadores buscan nuevas formas de engagement.

Nuestra soluciĂłn permite integrar mercados de predicciĂłn como una capa adicional de contenido vĂ­a API, mientras los socios mantienen su identidad de marca.

ÂżCompiten con operadores de apuestas?
No. Complementamos el ecosistema. Evitamos deliberadamente temas deportivos para no competir directamente y ampliar el abanico de contenidos.

ÂżBrasil estĂĄ atrasado en este segmento?
No. EstĂĄ en una etapa inicial, pero con caracterĂ­sticas ideales, una audiencia digital altamente comprometida y una creciente familiaridad con instrumentos financieros mĂĄs sofisticados.

ÂżCĂłmo funciona el modelo de ingresos?
Es similar al de plataformas de trading, cobramos comisiones sobre transacciones o sobre la liquidaciĂłn de contratos.

En el modelo B2B también generamos ingresos a través de fees de implementación y acuerdos de revenue share. Es un modelo altamente escalable.

¿Quiénes son los principales interesados hoy?
Hay tres grupos principales, operadores de iGaming, empresas de medios y entretenimiento, y plataformas digitales con grandes audiencias.

ÂżCĂłmo se construye liquidez en un mercado nuevo?
Inicialmente mediante un market maker interno para garantizar condiciones eficientes de negociaciĂłn. Al mismo tiempo, estamos desarrollando infraestructura para integrar market makers externos a medida que el ecosistema crece.

¿Por qué evitar temas como deportes y elecciones?
Es una decisión estratégica para alinearnos con la regulación actual y evitar conflictos con organismos como CVM, SPA y TSE.

ÂżBrasil estĂĄ cerca de regular los mercados de predicciĂłn?
La discusión recién estå comenzando a tomar fuerza. El principal riesgo es una clasificación incorrecta como apuestas tradicionales o como derivados financieros.

¿Qué define el éxito en los próximos seis meses?
El crecimiento de la base de usuarios, el volumen negociado y la activación de integraciones white label con socios estratégicos.

A futuro, ÂżserĂĄ un complemento del iGaming o una categorĂ­a propia?
En el corto plazo lo vemos como un complemento natural del iGaming, agregando nuevas capas de contenido y engagement.

A largo plazo, creemos que puede convertirse en una categorĂ­a digital propia, una nueva capa de internet enfocada en la predicciĂłn de eventos futuros.

Fernando Carvalho outlines new era for prediction markets in Brazil with VoxFi white label technology

Published

fernando-carvalho-outlines-new-era-for-prediction-markets-in-brazil-with-voxfi-white-label-technology

The global expansion of prediction markets is beginning to reshape how users interact with information, probability, and digital engagement.

Positioned at the intersection of finance, technology, and behavioral data, these platforms are gaining traction as a structured way to transform collective intelligence into measurable forecasts about future events.

In Brazil, this emerging segment is still in its early stages, but the combination of a highly engaged digital audience, recent regulatory evolution in adjacent sectors such as fintech and crypto, and the constant search for new engagement models within iGaming creates a fertile environment for growth.

It is within this context that VoxFi is positioning itself as one of the first structured players in the local ecosystem.

Last week, during BiS SiGMA South America 2026 in SĂŁo Paulo, the company officially presented its white-label solution, designed to allow third-party businesses to integrate prediction markets directly into their own websites and applications.

VoxFi also took part in the panel “Forecasting or Gambling? The Fine Line Between Prediction Markets and Bets,” where CEO and co-founder Fernando Carvalho discussed the boundaries between emerging prediction models and traditional betting structures.

In addition, the company was selected as one of the six finalists in the event’s Startup Pitch Competition, reinforcing its positioning as an innovative player in the space.

The company, a Brazilian platform focused on event-based prediction contracts, has introduced a white-label solution that allows third-party companies to integrate prediction markets directly into their own digital environments.

Through API connectivity, businesses across sectors, from media and entertainment to telecom,  can offer customized prediction experiences under their own branding, leveraging VoxFi’s infrastructure, compliance framework, and liquidity mechanisms.

Unlike traditional betting models, VoxFi operates on a peer-to-peer logic, where users trade binary contracts (“yes” or “no”) based on future outcomes.

The pricing of these contracts reflects perceived probabilities, creating a dynamic environment that resembles financial markets more than conventional gambling structures.

All markets undergo internal curation and validation, with clearly defined resolution criteria, compliance standards, and monitoring systems.

The platform also incorporates financial-market practices such as mandatory KYC, transaction monitoring, and event-based account segregation, reinforcing its positioning as a structured and responsible ecosystem.

Founded by Fernando Carvalho, known for his role in advancing the crypto asset market in Brazil through QR Capital, and Luis Felipe Carvalho, a fintech entrepreneur behind NG.CASH, VoxFi combines experience in financial innovation with a product designed for scalability and regulatory alignment.

In this exclusive interview, CEO Fernando Carvalho explains the rationale behind entering a still-misunderstood segment, the strategic positioning of VoxFi, and what lies ahead for prediction markets in Brazil.

The prediction market is still not widely understood in Brazil. What led you to invest in this sector?
Fernando Carvalho – We chose to build VoxFi because prediction markets are one of the most efficient ways to transform dispersed information into probabilities about the future.

They aggregate collective knowledge in a structured and transparent way. We observed important regulatory developments in the United States between 2024 and 2025, which indicated that this model would begin to scale globally.

We saw a scenario similar to the early days of the crypto market: a new sector that requires education, strong governance, and gradual development to reach scale.

Where is the line between prediction markets and betting?
The difference is structural. In prediction markets, users trade with each other through an order book, and prices reflect perceived probabilities.

In traditional betting, there is a house that sets the odds and assumes the risk. Here, there is no “house” — there is a market.

VoxFi enters with a B2B approach. What opportunity did you identify?
iGaming is undergoing a transformation in Brazil, and operators are looking for new ways to engage users.

Our solution allows prediction markets to be integrated as an additional content layer via API, while partners maintain their own brand identity.

Do you compete with betting operators?
No. We complement the ecosystem. We deliberately avoid sports-related topics to prevent direct competition and instead expand the range of available content.

Is Brazil behind in this segment?
No. It is in an early stage, but with ideal characteristics: a highly engaged digital audience and increasing familiarity with more sophisticated financial instruments.

How does your revenue model work?
It is similar to trading platforms: we charge fees on transactions or on contract settlement. In the B2B model, we also generate revenue through setup fees and revenue-sharing agreements. It is a highly scalable model.

Who are the main players interested in this today?
There are three main groups: iGaming operators, media and entertainment companies, and digital platforms with large audiences.

How do you build liquidity in a new market?
Initially, through an internal market maker to ensure efficient trading conditions. At the same time, we are developing infrastructure to integrate external market makers as the ecosystem grows.

Why avoid topics like sports and elections?
This is a strategic decision to align with current regulations and avoid conflicts with authorities such as CVM, SPA, and TSE.

Is Brazil close to regulating prediction markets?
The discussion is just beginning to gain traction. The main risk is being incorrectly classified as either traditional betting or financial drivatives.

What defines success in the next six months?
Growth in user base, trading volume, and the activation of white-label integrations with strategic partners.

Looking ahead, will this be a complement to iGaming or a standalone category?
In the short term, we see prediction markets as a natural complement to iGaming, adding new layers of content and engagement. In the long term, we believe they can become a standalone digital category,  a new layer of the internet focused on forecasting future events.
