Barcelona star Luis Suarez announced on behalf of Stox, that the prediction marketplace is headed for Alpha testing. The news comes less than 30 days after the company’s $33 million (current market cap is $47 million) ICO and just 2 weeks after the announcement that they had submitted an LOI to purchase a company that holds 2 U.K. gambling licenses. The Stox platform is used for investors to place digital currency tokens on event-based outcomes (i.e. sporting events).
Less Than Month After ICO, Stox Kicks Off Alpha with Luis Suarez
Howie Long-Short: Stox is well positioned in its competition with Augur and Gnosis. Invest.com Group, which is behind Stox, has a large existing client base and has proven successful at driving traffic to similar projects.
Fan Marino: Suarez announced he put his STX tokens on Federer to win the U.S. Open. Not exactly picking the underdog. Roger was the favorite coming in at +175 (OddsShark). He won last night to advance to the quarterfinals.
