Transcript signals
Bull points
- We saw the Macquarie report name a town of about $50 billion annually, and that's contract trading volume alone on an annual basis by 2030.
- In Q2, we achieved an important regulatory milestone as we were approved as a member of the National Futures Association and registered as a guaranteed introducing broker under our arrangement with thecrypto.com FCM, which completed a key regulatory step required for our planned commercial launch and moved us closer to bringing the Roller platform to market.
- The remaining path to launch is clearly defined and progressing and our conviction around prediction markets only continues to increase.
Bear points
- Net revenues were $2.8 million compared to $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of $3 million or 52%. The decrease primarily reflects our exit from certain online casino markets, a more focused marketing strategy, and our increasing emphasis on the prediction market's opportunity.
- The loss from operations was $2.5 million compared with a loss from operations of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2025.
