SafeBets Named Presenting Sponsor of IMCX 2026, Bringing Its No-Deposit Prediction Platform to the Creator Economy's Deal-Making Conference

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- The Influencer Marketing Conference & Expo (IMCX) today announced SafeBets, a no-deposit financial prediction platform, as the presenting sponsor of IMCX 2026, taking place October 13-15, 2026 in Los Angeles. The partnership places SafeBets's no-deposit prediction model in front of the senior brand marketers, creator-economy founders, platform leaders, and full-time creators who attend IMCX to close deals on the floor.

SafeBets -- founded and led by Alex Konanykhin -- operates as a financial prediction platform where users forecast the prices of Bitcoin, gold, crude oil, the S&P 500, major currencies, and equities. New users receive free tokens at signup. Because users never deposit funds or place wagers, no user risks personal capital on the platform. SafeBets's affiliated trading companies trade financial markets based on the collective intelligence of the platform's most accurate predictors, and reward those top predictors from the resulting trading profits.

Because users never deposit funds or stake money, SafeBets operates outside the wagering frameworks that govern traditional, zero-sum prediction markets.

According to research firm Eilers & Krejcik, the prediction-market category has grown from $0.5 billion in 2022 to $63.5 billion in 2025, with the firm projecting $1 trillion in annual trading volume by 2030. SafeBets has set a target of 200 million users and $10 billion in annual trading profits over the same horizon.

WHY IMCX

The presenting-sponsor partnership is structured around the moments where SafeBets's growth model and IMCX's deal-making model meet. IMCX 2026 will assemble senior brand marketers responsible for influencer and creator marketing budgets, creator-economy founders, platform leaders, agency principals, full-time creators with established audiences, and venture capital and growth investors active in the creator economy. The conference is purpose-built around brand-creator transactions, platform-customer introductions, and deal flow.

As presenting sponsor, SafeBets will hold top-tier branding across the IMCX 2026 website, on-site signage, main-stage backdrop, and registration touchpoints; a keynote speaking slot; premium exhibit placement; and inclusion in the IMCX 2026 marketing program leading up to the conference.

Alex Konanykhin, CEO of SafeBets, said: "Creators have earned the trust the gambling industry destroyed. We built SafeBets to give them a product they can actually recommend -- one where their audiences can compete for real rewards without putting a single dollar at risk. IMCX is the room where that conversation happens at scale. The brand marketers, creator-economy founders, and platforms in that room are exactly the people who will decide what the next 100 million SafeBets users discover, recommend, and trust. We're proud to be the presenting sponsor of IMCX 2026 and to build this alongside the creators, brands, and platforms defining where the category goes next."

Ismail Oyekan of IMCX said: "IMCX 2026 is built for deal-making, and SafeBets is the kind of partner that earns a presenting slot. They're not buying a logo placement -- they're showing up with a category-defining product and a real distribution thesis for the creator economy. The three days in Los Angeles will give our attendees a front-row seat to a model the rest of the prediction industry will be watching."
