had great fun jamming and crystal gazing with @PetBerisha on a topic close to our hearts
The @_SportingCrypto Podcast is back! ๐จ
In this episode we're joined by:
โข @AMahensaria, Co-Founder & CEO,ย @predofficial
We discuss:
โ๏ธ Disrupting sportsbooks as middlemen via peer to peer exchange
๐ Why sports needs a dedicated exchange not general prediction markets
๐งฉ Three customer segments: occasional, frequent, and institutional traders
๐๏ธ Key product needs for live sports trading speed and resolution
๐ฐ Hedging and insurance as fringe use cases under 5%
๐ Importance of clear rules and oracle providers for market resolution
๐ธ Parlays as sportsbook product with high margins not easily disrupted
๐ฐ Betfair comparison and why timing and DNA matter for exchanges

Really enjoyed being on the Sporting Crypto Podcast.
Iโm normally talking ticket finance for music/concerts, but this pod went deep on sports, team finance, and why clubs like Man United & Arsenal give a damn about season ticket loyalty above all else.
Tap in.
๐จ NEW Sporting Crypto podcast
@KYDNimale, CEO & co-founder of @KYDLabs joined us to talk blockchain ticketing in 2026 ๐ซ
Kyd Labs is one of the fastest-growing ticketing companies in the US, now live in 50+ venues.
Their protocol Tix creates a new ticket standard โone that lets venues control resale, own their data, and access on-chain capital.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ป๐๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐:
๐ 1.8 million users shopped on Kyd last year
๐ฐ $10M+ in ticket sales
๐๏ธ 50+ US venues
๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐ฑ:
๐๏ธ Why NFT tickets failed โ cost, speed, and royalties weren't enforceable
๐ฆ How Ticketmaster operates as a bank, not a ticketing company
๐ฐ Inspired by project such as Ethena and their on-chain liquidity to provide venues upfront capital
๐ The Tix protocol โ a new ticket standard that actually works
๐ฏ Integrating Kalshi prediction markets into the venue experience
Standout quote:

was reading a prediction market report by @ommiii_, @_sportingcrypto and @petberisha, and one slide really caught my attention.
according to the report, @polymarket bets have been extremely accurate in predicting outcomes, since the outcomes mirror the aggregated decisions of thousands of bettors.
this lines up with what @shayne_coplan said in his interview: when predictions come from a massive crowd, the data becomes incredibly accurate.
odds have been leading outcomes recently, and making money is getting easier.
this is the opportunity within the opportunity.

Last week had the challenge of being at two conferences at the same.
First up was @_SportingCrypto bringing powerhouse names to the stage such as @McLarenF1 & @Courtyard_io, hosted at the @Improbableio offices (thank you)
Next up was @SALTConference, a lot more on the institutional side and many deeper conversation about capital formation and allocation within the space.
Had the pleasure of spending some time with @OwnYourDataNow and the executive @AlphaTONCapital team, speaking about their focuses for the Ton ecosystem, growth, decentralisation and the role Education will play in their strategy.
It was also a great pleasure to hear @GaryLineker on stage. Someone who I have the utmost respect for. His stance on many of the issues that are wrong with society today, including the ongoing genocide happening to Palestinians and how he uses his platform and voice to raise awareness. Thank you ๐

Sports Blockchain Summit II by @_SportingCrypto was the most interesting room to be in London yesterday. Speakers from @Courtyard_io , @MarriottIntl , @McLarenF1 and more.
A few takeaways:
๐น Token gating works when you're giving superfans something extra.
๐น Pay-to-Play sponsorships often hurt crypto brands more than help. Multi-million sponsorships with major sports IPs only work when you have real alignment beyond logo placement.
๐น Most established sports bodies are still hesitant about crypto.
๐น The 'Metaverse' got rebranded to 'Virtual Spaces' and it seems to be working.
๐น Give sports fans a simple UX. The 'crypto' needs to be abstracted because users don't care what's under the hood. Advertising that your product uses 'blockchain' tech isn't going to pull in end users.
And just to state the obvious - dyor if you see a celebrity athlete pushing a token ๐ซถ

Back in London for one of the few events that truly moves the sports x blockchain space forward.
These rooms always deliver.
๐จWe're back ๐
We are incredibly excited to be announcing the second instalment of Sports Blockchain Summit ๐คฉ
We grew tired of not seeing a good Sports x Blockchain conference, so it made sense for @_SportingCrypto to create one.
The first instalment in NYC, in partnership with @HowieLongShort, was a huge success, so we're bringing it to our home turf in London.
