Q: Why do you think momentum markets could be adopted faster than traditional sportsbooks or micro markets?
Because momentum markets leverage real-time game context and a flexible, narrative-based structure that is more engaging and scalable, reducing the need for long, static propositions and enabling platforms to offer dynamic, liquidity-providing products with bespoke timeframes.
