Fantasy sports meets the stock market: social stock-picking competitions

Born from a family COVID game where each person put $1,000 in one stock and held for a year, Zelby pitches combining sports betting, fantasy sports, and public trading — public portfolios people can follow, copy, and compete with. References Shapeshift's 'Prism' crypto-basket beta as a precedent.

“So the idea here is, can you combine the best of sports betting with the best of fantasy sports— so like picking your team— with public trading? And there was an attempt at this in the crypto boom, the ICO boom, in 2017-18. By a company called Shapeshift. They launched— they didn't really launch. It was called Prism. And they had a private beta.”
