Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Oliver Wilson founded Atlon Capital in 2026 after building Oracle Trading at the University of Chicago, a student-led prediction markets trading and research organization. Under his leadership, Oracle Trading developed into one of the university's most active finance-focused groups, attracting outside funding and establishing a dedicated platform for market research, trading, and probabilistic analysis.
Oliver's work in prediction markets includes time at Polymarket and efforts to bring structured trading research to campus. At Atlon, he applies that same focus to market making, liquidity discovery, and emerging financial infrastructure across prediction markets and decentralized finance.
