ERX is a stock exchange that allows citizens of eRepublik to invest into companies through buying and selling their shares. It will allow anyone to become a stock trader, and any company owner to list their companies or organizations, no matter how small or large.

The project was spearheaded by Big Brother and was first announced on July 21, 2008. It was officially released on March 24th 2010 after facing delays due to the eRepublik API and is currently operated by t'jelle, which is owned by AidenAstrup.

In December 2010, the ERX Stock Market went broke and many people lost the gold they invested in it.
