A decentralised blockchain platform for betting on real world outcomes - including the assassination of political leaders- has been added to a Nasdaq crypto-related index and will soon be open to investors. Exante, a global brokerage brand has released the decentralised finance index - Defix, which includes the controversial prediction market platform, Augur, as well as Amoveo and 0x. “In the future, consumers will have the ability to invest in the index through a Defix fund, granting exposure to decentralised finance blockchain projects through a secure, financially accredited agency,” says Defix. Augur is described as a set of open source smart contracts that can be deployed to the Ethereum blockchain, enabling users to create their own prediction markets. [end of partial quote]
