Wow. I just signed up for the platform. However, the majority of the bets are on topics related to the US market. Can they attract and expand to the global market?

Great comment but you miss a point. This is not a betting platform. When a two sided trade can be bought/sold at any point in the market (through an actual order book) depending on the outcome probabilities of an event, we call that a derivative instrument trade. Most trades on the "platform" are organized as Binary Options and Credit Default Swaps. In fact, they could be assimilated to an Exchange that provides access to listings of complex financial instruments aimed at a retail public. I am not sure the local financial regulator will fully appreciate that in the short run but there is obviously a significant regulatory and supervisory challenge they will have to face...

Extremely interesting product. Also another crypto app/trend that is sucking liquidity away from traditional igaming companies, next to meme coins and leverage trading. Interesting times.
