It's a basketball prediction market platform, but what we did, which was different compared to the rest of the prediction market platforms, is that we're gamifying the players.

We're taking the top 100 players in the NBA currently, and we are creating shares, almost like player stock.

Welcome to Coin Desk. I'm here with Tristan Thompson, basketball player, entrepreneur, man about town.

Tristan, great to see you, sir. Sand, thank you for having me on. I appreciate it. Yeah, always.

You know, last time when I saw you, I think we were in Asia, and you mentioned you had something cooking. And I know you guys just released basketball. Dot fun out there. Just give us like the TLDR. What is basketball dot fun? What do you guys hope to achieve? Yeah, no, I remember we were talking to KBW when I came on your guys platform and appreciate that. And we were kind of mentioning it, but it's here right the show is started lights camera

action and it's basketball that fun and and the best way to describe it it's it's a basketball

prediction market platform but what we did which was different compared to the rest of the

prediction market platforms is that we're gamifying the players we're taking the top 100 players

in the NBA currently, and we are creating

shares, almost like player stock where on the platform, and it almost brings you back to that

nostalgic moment. For me, creating this, it was like, how can I put us back in this childhood

moment? Because I think, you know, everyone loves the prediction market and love that adrenaline, dopamine

rush, but how can we take it even a step further with some more innovation and something new?

And that's what we did in terms of creating a shares and opening packs.

Remember being the kid, you know, when your dad or your grandma gave you allowance, and you went to go buy trading cards.

You bought trading cards, you open up, and it's almost like that excitement of what that could possibly be brought that back and we

added that to our platform yeah you get to buy different players buy different packs you get those players

then it sounds like you know based on their actual stats they kind of go up and down and value you can put

it on a marketplace if you want to sell them so there's a a fantasy element too. Yeah, no, there's a fantasy element. It's almost visualized it as like a stock, stock market, stock market for players where like I said, if LeBron is having a triple double and he's on a tear this week, his stock levels, values are going to go up. It's no different than with Tesla,

if they have the announcement with the robocars, their stock goes up, right? Or if it's a player

that's having, like Niccolo Yokic has been having a bunch of bad games since coming back

from injuries and his numbers have declined and dipped, his share price value will dip, right?
