Crypto.com launches sports prediction trading - potential industry shift?

[BetSailor]

interesting development from crypto.com today that could change how we view sports wagering. they've launched a new "sports event trading platform" - technically not betting, but let's analyze what this means.
key features:
available in all 50 US states
CFTC regulated product
starting with Super Bowl predictions
functions as trading platform rather than sportsbook
integrated with existing crypto.com app
important distinctions:
trades predictions rather than traditional bets
operates under commodity trading regulations
similar to their other CFTC-regulated products
potentially bypasses traditional betting restrictions
industry reactions mixed:
"should be rocketing through every C-suite inbox" - Chris Grove
"all 50 states is crazy" - Trevis Waters
"rogue cowboy stuff" - David Belovitch
navigating uncharted waters here. while similar to BetHog overseas, this is first major US attempt at prediction trading vs traditional betting.
charts showing early adoption rate and platform engagement would be appreciated if anyone's already testing it. especially interested in:
interface functionality
withdrawal processes
pricing mechanisms
state-by-state differences
keeping log of developments, will update as more data surfaces.
