Four steps between you and a virtual portfolio of artist "stocks." This is exactly how Muses Exchange works — the data it runs on, the formula that sets every price, and where the prototype currently draws the line.
Browse 105 hand-picked artists across pop, hip-hop, indie, and more. Each profile shows monthly Spotify listeners, YouTube channel stats, price history, and the signals that moved the price. Watchlist the ones you're weighing.
Buy shares at the current price with a market order, or set a limit order to execute only at the price you want. Every new account starts with $10,000 in virtual credits — no deposit, no KYC, nothing real at risk. Build the portfolio you'd build if this were real.
Prices refresh every 30 minutes, 24/7 — driven by Spotify monthly listeners and YouTube channel stats, with boosts for chart position and radio play. Your portfolio is tied to your account and follows you across devices — open it on desktop, close the tab, pick it up on your phone.
Sell any position at any time to lock in a virtual gain or cut a virtual loss. Watch how your picks perform against the market, against other artists, and — if you opt in — against every other trader on the public leaderboard. The thesis under test: can you spot a rising artist before the charts do?
Every artist's price comes from a simple, readable formula. No black box. Here's exactly how the number on screen is built.
A cron job pulls Spotify monthly listeners and YouTube channel stats (subscribers, total views) for every listed artist every 30 minutes, 24/7. That's the entire feed today.
Price per share = monthly listeners × $0.03 per 1,000,000. So an artist with 30M monthly listeners sits around $0.90 before boosts. Bigger audience = higher price.
YouTube scale adds a small premium. Chart position on major streaming charts and recent radio airplay add bounded boosts on top. All multipliers are capped so a single viral moment can't lift a price by 10x overnight.
Raw values go through an exponential moving average so the price doesn't whiplash on every data refresh. Over time, an artist's trajectory shows up cleanly instead of as noise.
Muses Exchange is a prototype, not a brokerage. Accounts are free, there is no deposit, no real money, and no real fees. Any future paid product will publish its full cost model before a single user is charged.
No real money is accepted, held, or at risk. Your balance is virtual. You can't win or lose actual dollars here.
Prices come from real Spotify and YouTube numbers, refreshed on a public 30-minute cadence. The formula is small and readable — no black box.
Muses Exchange is a long-running, self-funded product — not venture-backed. The roadmap is set deliberately, with no quarterly growth targets to chase. When a bug or data outage occurs, it is disclosed and fixed rather than hidden.
Muses Exchange is not a broker, not a fund, and not a securities exchange. Any move into regulated territory will be announced publicly and fully licensed before launch.
