What is AthX?

Definition and category
AthX (The Athlete Sports Exchange) is a user-first sports trading platform. It is a skill-based game where you trade fractional shares in MLB players and teams. Prices are driven by real fantasy-point performance and supply and demand—not by competing head-to-head against other players like in daily fantasy sports (DFS).
AthX is often described as an alternative to DFS (DraftKings, FanDuel) because fees are 1–4% instead of 10–15% rake, you build a lasting portfolio instead of entering one-off contests, and you can earn dividends and bonuses over time. It is not gambling; outcomes are based on real performance and your decisions within the platform rules.
