“The acquisition makes Stox the first regulated company in the space,” Gertner said. “This especially highlights the difference between Stox and its two main competitors, Augur and Gnosis, who don’t have these licenses.” In the world of prediction platforms, Augur is currently trading at $210 million, with Gnosis trading at $120 million. This is interesting in comparison to Stox which, at a valuation of around $25 million, appears to be the victim of a valuation anomaly."

When it comes to cryptocurrencies and ICOs, everyone is talking about one thing. Regulation.

Today Stox — an open source, Bancor-based prediction market platform — announced its acquisition of CommoLogic, a B2B company that creates innovative products for the iGaming market. Why is that important? Because acquiring CommoLogic means that Stox just became the first regulated ICO prediction platform.

Through the acquisition, Stox acquires three gambling licenses from CommoLogic: A software license in the UK, an operating license in the UK, and a Class 4 (B2B) license in Malta.

Stox is an Ethereum-based platform that allows users to predict the outcome of a variety of events. We’ve discussed Stox before when it the first member of Bancor’s currency-liquidity network. Stox recently raised $33 million (capped) in 34 hours in its ICO.

So why is it important to have these gambling licenses, and why was an acquisition the best way to acquire them?

“Stox is predicting that they will be needed in the near future,” Ophir Gertner, Founder at Stox, told me.

But it isn’t just about betting that they’ll be needed, it is about ensuring Stox has them before they become scarce.

“If there are too many licenses out there then it’s possible that they won’t allow any more,” Gertner said. “Thus we’re making sure to get them as soon as possible. Most importantly, acquiring the company saves time instead of going through the process of licensing. Now the company can concentrate on developing a product instead of dealing with lawyers and regulators.”

Acquiring licenses isn’t the only reason for the acquisition.

“The acquisition makes Stox the first regulated company in the space,” Gertner said. “This especially highlights the difference between Stox and its two main competitors, Augur and Gnosis, who don’t have these licenses.”

In the world of prediction platforms, Augur is currently trading at $210 million, with Gnosis trading at $120 million. This is interesting in comparison to Stox which, at a valuation of around $25 million, appears to be the victim of a valuation anomaly. Whether today’s acquisition and the associated licenses changes that is yet to be seen.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Gnosis and Augur who?

The STOX team has announced that it will be hosting a prediction submission event whereby anyone can create a prediction on the STOX alpha platform.
Prediction events will be vetted by the STOX team and a shortlist of the best predictions will be open to a community vote.

The top predictions will yield the creator a STX bounty reward.

Also do us all a favor and PLEASE vote for STX on Binance here: https://www.binance.com/vote.html

Telegram channel has not been shut down, I have full access to it. Perhaps you were banned for FUD

STX to the moon

See what a little communication can do?

You staunched the bleeding and now its bouncing, but we are still a LOOOOOONG ways away from our ATH

Join us!

They are re-adding the team to the website, which was my primary concern. So yes, I have renewed faith.
Why does that make you so mad I wonder... what do you care what I do?
Platform development is Q4 2017, so they are not behind schedule on anything at all.

Also what makes you guys think that they are looking for new staff SOLELY on the forums? For all you know they could have ads out in the craigslist equivalent in Israel.
Either way this is actually the best place to find professionals in the crypto currency field, this is where they all gather to talk.

If you are one of the following:

1. Claim that STOX is a scam
2. Tired of lack of communication
3. Believe its subject to insider selling
4. Think that it's abandoned
5. Bashed the alpha product

Then this is the update for you!

https://medium.com/@stoxhq/you-asked-we-answered-askstox-5cbff2d35459

If you compare their platform to Gnosis or Augur, you will see that it's actually pretty damn nice.
With that said, we need to rebuild the STOX community after all the FUD. Please join us on twitter, telegram, reddit.
Right now STOX is literally 1/4 of the ICO price. A great opportunity for people to get in thanks to all the BS floating around

See you there!

Team update, and its a good one. They haven't sold anything

https://medium.com/@stoxhq/you-asked-we-answered-askstox-5cbff2d35459

This gives me renewed faith in the project and I will be buying more at these absurd levels

ICO was 0.005 ETH, its now 0.00125 ETH

Everyone who held STX since ICO has gotten completely raped.

Despite the chance that it may be a full blown scam, there is still a decent risk/reward to buying it this cheap.

Yup, STX was the nail in the coffin on ICO investment for me. Never again, no matter how amazing it sounds.

During a time where ICO's are being scrutinized, STX only serves to fuel the fire. Pathetic job STOX team.

Rank 175 now. My lord talk about SHITCOIN

STOX team, you are losing support fast.

Even I am beginning to think you're all just a bunch of kike scammers.

STX is underperforming EVERY COIN. This is not normal, the only way this can happen is if its a scam and they are dumping their 50%

I bet they dont even check their twitter or this thread at all. Useless mother fuckers.

I think STX is so far gone now and is literally LOATHED by the crypto community, everyone that I mention this coin to calls it a scam.

Nothing can save this, not bittrex, not development, nothing. It's literally one of the most hated coins ever released.

They could probably release Beta right now and get listed on Polo and Bittrex and the price would still drop simply because these guys keep dumping into any rally.

This selling that is happening, now at sub 40 cents, absolutely HAS to be insider selling, otherwise people are selling for massive loss, and that is very dumb.

Rank 171 now, it lost 100 ranks vs other coins. This is currently one of, if not THE single worst performing coin on the market.

Stox team completely disappeared. I am speaking with lawyers right now.

If the STOX team don't intend on doing anything with this token, then it is only fair they begin buying back tokens at $1

I took a snapshot and bookmarked the entire team before they took it down from their site.

If this does turn out to be a scam or something, I will go after each and every one of them.

I bought about 0.5 BTC worth today to average down some more. I am holding for a long time.

I don't see it going lower, the chinese are out. The rest of us are not insane. I think we are at the bottom.

STOX is probably 80% Chinese investors. It likely crashed because the Chinese were pushed to sell at any cost because their exchanges were closing down and forcing everyone to liquidate or risk losing everything. The Chinese scrambled to sell STX at whatever price they could get, forcing the current price which is artificially lower and totally below crypto benchmarks.

When the Chinese come back (and they will), where do you think they will go? They will buy back whatever they sold, in this case STX.
Do not let them buy back at cheaper prices. Buy and hold now and sell it back to the Chinese at 5x a month from now.

I set my sell order at $5 and I'm not even going to look at it.

As soon as they have something.. ANYTHING available where you can use real STX tokens to bet on stuff, that's when it will fly up.

Even right now with the Alpha, if they reset everything and switched it over to real STX tokens, this coin would probably moon hard.

It's only a matter of time, I'd take advantage and buy now because the STOX team always pops up with this stuff without a heads up.

They are probably in the process of setting up a hot wallet to handle deposits as well as waiting on the UK license.
