FundFantasy-leads the fight for games that are completely transparent and fun
FundFantasy is the first reliable fantasy game platform for financial fans, supported by blockchain technology. Our platform enables secure and transparent games, and therefore is a natural solution to well-known problems in the world of online trading as well as the online gaming / gambling market.
FundFantasy is an online social platform featuring a peer-to-peer, provably-fair simulated investment contest where users compete for prizes by creating a major portfolio. Contests vary in duration and can range from 1 hour to a full year. Participation in a contest is done by:
- Purchase tickets and thus contribute to the prize reward. FundFantasy charges 5-10% of each contest and the rest is distributed among the winners as a prize, according to the prize allocation model. These costs are used for operational and marketing purposes and fund the FundFantasy Prize Pool (FFPP).
- Create and submit a portfolio. Users, when creating their portfolio can select assets from different asset classes including stocks, commodities, cryptography, and fiat currencies. These user-submitted portfolios are ranked and ranked immediately after the contest ends according to their rate of return, which is calculated based on the price quotation from the well-established and well-established financial data API. Portfolios are encrypted from when they are submitted by users and are only published after the contest begins - in this way we solve asymmetric information problems that can occur when fantasy employees have access to the portfolio submitted by users; Such situations can be exploited by management or employees to gain an unfair advantage.
FundFantasy is a refreshing and new investment fantasy experience, and we are proud to be the people who introduce this new fantasy category to a decentralized economy. The fantasy model has shown popularity and mass acceptance in the US as in the case of Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS). FundFantasy creates a lost link between two popular markets by providing a safe, provably-fair, and simplified way to play the role of investment manager / investor, promotion, and prize winning. in the first game of its kind.

As Michael J. Gutmann did:
"Trade and gambling are both fundamentally stochastic ... [and] similar as they seek to create capital gains, in a relatively short period of time"
In a study of 2015 conducted in Taiwan, researchers Xiaohui Gao and Tse-Chun Lin hypothesized and discovered it
"Individual investors treat trade as a fun and exciting gambling activity, which implies a substitution between this activity and an alternative gambling opportunity ... Individual investors trade less on a big jackpot day, or equivalent, that there is a substitution effect between stock trading and lottery participation. "
Online Trading Market
People who are actively involved, independent investments are now a regular part of the social landscape. According to Celent 2015:
"The independent investor segment grew faster than the non-self-directed segment (4.9% and 1.4% respectively) ... The US self-reliant population rebounds from traditional investors and more towards active investors and active traders. ... Women and the millennium will continue to enter self-directed markets across all customer segments, slowly changing the profile of the self-directed average investor. "
This means that the market is already educated (and more) in the art of capital allocation, which is at the heart of FundFantasy. Users can involve the FundFantasy platform with easy intuitive.
It is also widely known that retail online trading is a huge market, to say the least. According to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS):
"The volume of foreign exchange trading accounts for 5.5% of the total foreign exchange market ($ 282 billion in daily trading turnover) ... the foreign exchange market averages $ 5.1 trillion per day in April 2016." And in emerging markets:
In Hong Kong, "Retail online trading accounts for 47 percent of total retail investor trade, compared to 44 percent in 2014/15".
In Thailand, "Online retail trade jumped 239 percent to 1 trillion baht ($ 30.72 billion) in February from a year earlier.8"
Unfortunately, the online trading industry has been plagued by numerous allegations of falsehood and direct fraud. One would imagine that this kind of practice would become a historical relic in the Internet age, which has so far been characterized by a massive flow of information and a relative increase in transparency. This, however, has not happened yet. The latest example is FXCM9. From Wikipedia:
"On February 6, 2017, CFTC imposed a $ 7 million fine for FXCM for deceiving its retail customers.The Commission finds that the closely related company acts as the primary market maker for its trade, and FXCM lies to its customers about the market maker FXCM receives $ 77 million "discounts" from market makers ... [CFTC] forbids companies to register with the CFTC, which effectively prohibits it from US commodity brokerage industry "
This is a very unfortunate case, because FXCM is the first publicly traded foreign exchange broker, and for many years has been the largest retail forex broker. What's even more surprising is this is not the first time. Again from Wikipedia:
"In December 2010, FXCM went public and started trading on the NYSE, becoming the first forex broker in the US to issue shares to the public .... The following year, in February and March 2011, several class action lawsuits filed against FXCM, and extortion of deceptive and unfair trading practices, and misleading shareholders during the 2010 IPO. In August 2011, the NFA fined FXCM $ 2 million for skid malpractice. "
This type of behavior is also on display in the UK, where, according to FCA's director of enforcement and financial crime, Tracey McDermott
"Between August 2006 and December 2010, the FXCM Group retained the advantage of favorable market movements between time orders made by FXCM UK and executed by FXCM Group, while losses were granted to clients as a whole - a practice known as asymmetric skid price."
It is important to note that the purpose of this analysis is not to slam FXCM specifically, but asks many questions:
- How can such mistakes and violations last so long and at such times? large scale? Is this considered to ignore the exclusive fiduciary standards for the companies mentioned above, or do they penetrate the entire industry?
- How effective are the current community methods of dealing with this problem? Should we wait until the next scandal erupts where millions of dollars of savings will disappear again?
- Should all retail traders, who have foreign currency for the sole purpose of obtaining capital gains, put themselves at the mercy of the predator mediator?
The answer put forward by the FundFantasy team is the resounding three 'No's'
- Although assuming other industry giants act well, a transparent and endless platform will definitely improve the conditions of retail traders.
The "slap-on-the-wrist" approach has failed for years.
- Investors looking for dividends can always buy dividends that generate stocks or bonds - but in fact the majority of retailers in the currency markets, commodities and stock markets, do so for the purpose of speculation for capital gains, that is gambling. .
The online trading market is ready for a relaxed, fun, easy and transparent platform for financial speculation, without the risk of a large counterparty currently involved.

The online gaming market represents one of the fastest growing segments of the gambling industry. According to KPMG
“H2 Gambling Capital, a leading supplier of data and market intelligence on the global gambling industry, puts the size of the global online gaming market at about US$21 billion, hitting US$30 billion by 2012. But that may be just a drop in the ocean… As the popularity of both gambling and online entertainment continues to grow, the online gaming market is without a doubt an attractive area of expansion for software developers, casinos and other land-based gambling operators, related suppliers, and industry newcomers and investors alike.”
According to the Sports Fantasy Trade Association
"Daily fantasy players have doubled over the past two years, 56.8 million people play some form of online fantasy sports in the United States and Canada, 57% have college degrees or higher, and 47% report household income of $ 75,000 and above 66% enjoy full-time jobs. "
The current online gaming market has reached the temporary highlands, as new games have not been introduced since the advent of Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS). The expansion of the fantasy model from the sports betting industry to the financial speculation market is very natural and intuitive, some say more than just sports.
FundFantasy leads the fight for games that are completely transparent and fun. As with any Fantasy game platform; access to user portfolio databases provides unfair advantage While both US-based DFS providers have imposed restrictions on their own employees and their competitors, the FundFantasy portfolio data is fully encrypted and inaccessible to the FundFantasy team and its employees. Portfolio data is only published after the contest begins. Given the flexibility of transparency and fairness, FundFantasy has a good chance of positioning itself as the first provider in an untapped market and thus gaining a great foothold, for the benefit of our ERC20 token holders, and the FundFantasy community as a whole. .
