Bankless: Why Pro Athletes Are Betting on Bitcoin, Crypto & Prediction Markets

Why Pro Athletes Are Betting on Bitcoin, Crypto & Prediction Markets

NBA vet Tristan Thompson and Coinbase CLO Paul Grewal break down why pro athletes are diving headfirst into crypto—think Bitcoin, juicy stablecoin yields unlocked by the Genius Act, and onchain prediction markets. They also unpack Coinbase’s fight to keep consumer staking and yield alive and debate whether the CFTC or individual states should oversee these new markets.
