Crypto.com, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchange companies in the world, has revealed a groundbreaking sports event trading platform that will be exclusively available to US players via the Crypto.com app.
This innovation marks a new era in cryptocurrency and sports integration, as the platform will allow users to trade predictions on various sports event outcomes.
At the moment, the only available trading option on the trading platform is for the upcoming Super Bowl.
More specifically, US users of Crypto.com can use the platform to make predictions on which NFL team they believe will win the Super Bowl. For this matter, the app lists various teams along with their winning probabilities, giving the users easy access to choose the winner.
This new and already controversial product by Crypto.com is part of the recent commitment of the crypto exchange to further expand its extensive portfolio of regulated trading products and services.
Moreover, by releasing this platform, Crypto.com is focused on cementing its already-strong presence in the fast-rising event-powered trading market, something that the exchange strategically released at what seems to be the perfect time.
Crypto.com already has several similar event contracts, such as Strike Options and UpDown Options, both of which are classified as cryptocurrency derivatives regulated by the CFTC (Commodity Futures Trading Commission).
What makes this launch a strategic masterpiece is the timing of the launch, which is just ahead of the biggest holiday in the Western Hemisphere, Christmas.
By launching this new sports event trading platform at this time, Crypto.com wants to build momentum and attract early adopters during a period of increased consumer engagement.
And by focusing on the biggest sports event in the USA, the Super Bowl, the crypto exchange clearly wants to capitalize on the popularity of the final and introduce new users to a unique betting activity that resembles traditional sports betting but is nothing like it.
