Outpoll Expands Beyond Prediction Markets With Crypto Futures Trading

Mahe, Seychelles, October 20th, 2026, Chainwire

Forecast an event, trade the asset it moves, and manage both from one app.

Today, Outpoll unveiled Trading, an integrated perpetual futures venue embedded directly into its prediction market ecosystem. Prediction markets, futures, and the Outpoll app now function seamlessly as a single service backed by a unified account balance. Traders can seamlessly analyze impending events, execute trades based on expected market movements, and consolidate all their positions under one dashboard.

Consider the conventional approach: anticipating an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve may involve taking a position on one platform, switching tabs to open a separate exchange, transferring capital, and then entering a long or short position on the index. Outpoll streamlines this into a single continuous process. A unified account balance supports both a position on the Federal Reserve decision and a position on the SPX500, or a forecast on oil supply alongside a direct position on crude oil. Forecasts and hedges coexist in a single unified interface across web and mobile.

How Prediction Markets and Futures Differ

Prediction markets reflect market sentiment, whereas futures empower traders to capitalize on price action. Most platforms restrict users to one mechanism — prediction venues rarely feature leveraged instruments, while derivatives platforms lack event contracts. Outpoll bridges this divide, delivering both asset classes through a single account, shared balance, and unified application.

Available Trading Assets

Trading covers three asset groups, quoted against USDT and USDC:

• Crypto: BTC, XMR, PUMPFUN and more, in total 80+ pairs
• Stocks and indices: AAPL, MSFT, SPX500 etc., in total 20+ pairs
• Commodities - 4 pairs

Every contract is perpetual, so there is no expiry to roll. Go long or short with leverage of up to 100x.

The Toolkit Traders Expect

• Isolated and cross margin
• One-way and Hedge mode, to hold a long and a short on one asset at the same time
• Market, Limit and Stop Market orders, with Take Profit / Stop Loss and Reduce-Only
• TradingView charts right in the order screen
• A calculator that displays the estimated liquidation price before an order is placed.
• A public API for algorithmic strategies

Availability

Trading is live now on the web at outpoll.com and in the Outpoll app (Google Play). Active users will find the new section in their account, running on the balance they already have. First users to sign up get a bonus using promocode “NEW100”, which can be spent either on a discount on trading fees or on increasing the size of a position. Terms are on the platform.

Regulator by Regulator: How Anjouan, Curaçao and Malta Supervise Web3 Sportsbooks

Three small jurisdictions license a large share of the world's crypto sportsbooks. Anjouan in the Comoros, Curaçao in the Caribbean and Malta in the Mediterranean each supervise operators in their own way, and the differences reach the bettor.

Each regulator sets its own rules on anti-money-laundering checks, player protection, complaints and crypto payments. Each also keeps a public register, though the detail it shows varies.

Viewed side by side, the three help a bettor read the licence line in a sportsbook footer as more than a badge.

Three Regulators Side by Side

Licensing regimes share common goals, yet the route to a licence and the protections behind it differ. The table sets out the main features of each.

Last verified: October 2026

Regulators publish licence details in their registers, and the information a licence entry shows can confirm whether a sportsbook's claim holds up. Our guide to what a licence number tells a player covers how to read those entries.

Anjouan Tightened Its Rules After 2023

Anjouan licenses online gambling under laws dating from 2005, with gaming oversight, financial checks and licence administration split between separate island bodies. Trade reports put the number of licences issued above 1,650 by mid-2026, with around 1,500 active.

What Licensees Owe Players

Operators must run AML programmes with customer checks, transaction monitoring and sanctions screening. Player protection rules cover age checks, self-exclusion, deposit and loss limits and the separation of player funds.

How Complaints Move

Players complain to the operator first, which typically has around 30 days to respond. Unresolved cases then go to an approved outside body that the operator pays for, while the regulator checks that complaint processes work.

In June 2026, Anjouan's regulator stressed that its licence does not authorise operators in every country. Our look at what Anjouan regulation covers explains that scope in more detail.

Curaçao Moved to Direct Licences

Curaçao's new gambling ordinance, known locally as the LOK, became law on December 24, 2024. It replaced the old system of master licence holders and sublicences with licences issued directly by the Curaçao Gaming Authority.

Licences under the old law stayed valid into 2025, and the authority granted more than 600 provisional licences by late that year. The authority treats the move from provisional to permanent status as a priority for 2026.

New requirements include a physical office on the island and locally based key staff approved by the authority. AML rules took effect in April 2025, alongside a responsible gaming policy covering age checks, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion and deposit limits. Guidelines for outside dispute bodies followed in September 2025.

Malta Requires ADR and Regulates Crypto Through Policy

Malta's Gaming Act of 2018 underpins a licensing regime that has long attracted larger European operators. Directive 5 of 2018 requires every B2C licensee to contract an alternative dispute resolution provider and publish the procedure for players.

Since April 2019, the authority's Player Support Unit has left individual rulings to ADR providers. It accepts reports of unlawful or unfair conduct and reviews licensees' dispute records.

Malta's policy on distributed ledger technology, issued in February 2023, lets approved operators accept crypto, issue their own tokens or use audited smart contracts. Privacy coins remain banned, and operators cannot run crypto exchange services on their own sites. Our broader look at how crypto casino licensing differs across Europe sets Malta beside other regimes.

What Supervision Means for a Bettor

Supervision shapes three practical things. It sets the order of a complaint, decides which outside body hears an unresolved case and defines the player protection tools an operator must offer.

Supervision also has limits. Each regulator licenses activity from its own jurisdiction, while local law decides whether a player may bet with that operator at home.

Bettors get real value from a licence when they check the register entry, read the complaints procedure and confirm the dispute body before a problem arises.

Dexsport Under Anjouan Supervision

Dexsport operates through Dexapp LTD under an Anjouan licence, with a sportsbook, casino and prediction markets on one account. Dexsport's terms set the minimum age at 18, or higher where local law requires, and exclude residents of Russia and Belarus.

Players raise disputes with Dexsport by writing to team@dexsport.io or using the in-platform route, and its terms move from negotiation to arbitration if needed. Self-exclusion requests go to info@dexsport.io, and Dexsport blocks the account within 12 hours of receipt.

Dexsport's terms also allow identity checks at any stage, in line with the AML duties Anjouan places on licensees.

Conclusion

Anjouan, Curaçao and Malta each supervise crypto sportsbooks under their own laws. Anjouan has tightened AML, player protection and dispute rules since 2023, Curaçao moved to direct licences in December 2024, and Malta requires ADR and regulates crypto through a dedicated policy.

All three send complaints to the operator first and then to an outside body. Each keeps a public register, and each licence covers activity from its own jurisdiction only.

Five minutes with the register and the complaints procedure before a deposit makes the licence line in a footer meaningful. Each country sets its own betting rules, so confirm yours, keep to legal age limits and expect that KYC or AML checks may apply.

Venice Token VVV Rebounds Above $24 After a Volatile Week — What Comes Next?

Venice Token (VVV) has moved back above $24 after a sharp session, with CoinMarketCap reporting a price of $24.69 on October 12, up 10.83% over 24 hours. Reported 24-hour volume was about $44.94 million, while market capitalisation stood near $1.20 billion.

A separate technical-market snapshot from Coinotag put VVV at $24.857 at 06:42 UTC the same day. The difference reflects separate observation points, but both place the token above the $24 threshold that frames the immediate question for traders.

The rebound arrives as Venice has reduced VVV’s annual emissions to 2 million tokens from October 1, following staged reductions from 3 million annually. The supply change and an existing buy-and-burn mechanism provide a constructive backdrop, though the daily chart still carries a meaningful momentum warning.

VVV’s daily trend is bullish, but MACD momentum remains negative

The daily technical picture is positive on balance, but it is not uniform. Coinotag’s model classified six of seven indicator groups as bullish, while also flagging extreme volatility and divergence between timeframes. That combination matters after a double-digit daily move: trend measures can remain constructive even while momentum fails to confirm a clean continuation.

VVV traded above six of eight moving averages in Coinotag’s October 12 reading. Its 50-day moving average was also above the 200-day average, a longer-term bullish arrangement that supports the broader trend rather than a purely short-lived bounce.

Momentum is more mixed. The daily 14-period RSI was 47.6, a neutral result that placed the token neither in overbought nor oversold territory. By contrast, the four-hour RSI was 58.0 and marked bullish, although Coinotag characterised the overall four-hour outlook as neutral. The weekly RSI stood at 64.9, indicating stronger momentum over the longer timeframe.

The main counterweight is the daily MACD. Blockspot showed a MACD reading of -0.2003 against a 0.6280 signal line at 03:00 GMT+2 on October 12, a bearish configuration. In practical terms, the moving-average structure and higher-timeframe RSI readings support the recovery, but the daily MACD means the market has not yet delivered unanimous momentum confirmation.

This conflict makes price behaviour around the nearest levels more important than the rebound alone. A sustained advance with a move through resistance would better align the short-term chart with the bullish trend backdrop; repeated rejection could leave the negative MACD signal in focus.

VVV support at $23.3712 and resistance at $25.6408 frame the next move

With the Coinotag spot reading at $24.857, the closest identified levels sit relatively tightly around price. The first support is $23.3712, while the nearest resistance is $25.6408. Coinotag described both as level clusters rather than isolated chart marks: the support combines pivot, Fibonacci, moving-average and volume-profile references, and the resistance is its strongest identified cluster.

LevelPriceTechnical basisNearest support$23.3712Daily cluster of pivot, Fibonacci, moving-average and volume-profile referencesSecond support$22.215550% Fibonacci retracement of the stated $9.816–$34.615 swingLower support$21.2031Second daily support in Coinotag’s level-cluster analysisNearest resistance$25.6408Strongest identified daily resistance clusterSecond resistance$26.5981Second resistance in the daily pivot structureHigher resistance$28.1144Higher daily pivot and level-cluster resistance

For buyers, holding $23.3712 would preserve the nearest technical floor beneath the current price area. A decisive move above $25.6408 would be the first required break for an upside continuation, after which $26.5981 and $28.1144 are the next supplied resistance markers. Those are levels to be tested, not predictions that VVV must reach.

For the bearish case, failure to maintain $23.3712 would shift attention to $22.2155. That level is specifically tied to the 50% retracement of Coinotag’s stated $9.816–$34.615 swing. Below it, $21.2031 is the remaining listed support. A rejection at $25.6408 followed by a loss of the first support would weaken the immediate recovery structure, particularly while the daily MACD remains bearish.

Venice Token price outlook: can VVV sustain its move above $24?

VVV has a credible, but conditional, case for sustaining its move above $24. The token was quoted near $24.86 in Coinotag’s snapshot after CoinMarketCap recorded a 10.83% 24-hour gain. Beneath the chart, Venice’s lower annual emissions and its policy of allocating $5 of every $100 in API-credit purchases to automatic VVV buybacks and burns add a supply-side element to the setup. Venice says those API-credit burns are in addition to subscription-related burns.

That fundamental context does not resolve the near-term chart. The daily RSI at 47.6 is neutral and the daily MACD remains below its signal line, so the latest rise has not yet erased all signs of fragile momentum. On the other hand, price above six of eight moving averages, a 50-day average above the 200-day average, and bullish four-hour and weekly RSI readings leave the broader technical bias more constructive than the MACD alone suggests.

The most important confirmation would be a hold above $23.3712 followed by a break through $25.6408. That sequence would strengthen the argument that the rebound is developing into a more durable advance and would bring the next quoted resistance levels into view. Conversely, inability to clear $25.6408 and a subsequent loss of $23.3712 would make the move above $24 less secure, with $22.2155 and then $21.2031 becoming the relevant downside reference points.

For now, the evidence supports a cautiously positive outlook rather than a definitive breakout call. Reduced emissions, the burn mechanism and bullish longer-term trend signals support VVV’s recovery, but the mixed daily momentum readings mean the market still needs to prove that it can defend the first support and overcome the nearest resistance. This is market analysis, not investment advice.

ChangeNOW Announces NOW AI After Resolving Website Integration Vulnerability

Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, October 15th, 2026, Chainwire

On October 15, with the help of independent security researchers, we found a vulnerability affecting one of the integrations used on the ChangeNOW website. The vulnerability has now been fixed.

We currently have no evidence that it was exploited. But we also can’t assume that the researchers who reported it were the only ones to find it. Because of that, we’re looking at the different possible scenarios and warning clients about the information that could potentially have been exposed. This may include email addresses and transaction details.

Please note ChangeNOW’s transaction infrastructure was not affected, and customer funds were never at risk.

The main thing clients should watch out for now is suspicious or fraudulent messages. A phony message could reference real transactions or support to appear legitimate. If you get an unexpected message that looks like it's from ChangeNOW, please check the sender before responding, clicking on any links or giving any information. We exclusively contact clients via support@changenow.io and we will never ask for a private key, seed phrase, or any password by email.

People contact our support and compliance teams because they trust us with information they would not share publicly, and we understand the responsibility that comes with that. We have no indication this vulnerability was exploited, but we believe it is important to warn of the possible risks rather than wait until there is total certainty.

Our clients are at the center of what we do, and we're continuing to upgrade the protection of our products. One of the actions we are taking is the launch of NOW AI, a dedicated protection lab with a mission to raise the security standard across all ChangeNOW products. We want to apply the same technology to the defensive side to spot danger earlier and bake stronger security into our products, especially as AI makes malicious action easier to automate and expand.

Today’s case only made the need to move faster more obvious and it accelerated the launch of NOW AI. We’ll publish more details on our plans, what it covers, and how it will be used across ChangeNOW on a dedicated page on our website soon. Stay tuned.

South Korea Blocks 27 Unregistered Crypto Exchange Websites Including KuCoin and MEXC

South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit said on October 13 that domestic access to 27 active websites linked to unregistered virtual-asset service providers had been blocked or terminated, following reviews conducted on October 6 and 7. The action restricts normal access in South Korea to platforms reported to include KuCoin and MEXC.

FIU blocks or terminates access to 27 platforms

The Financial Services Commission announcement said the FIU acted against 27 websites that were still operating at the time of its review and were connected to providers not registered as virtual-asset service providers in the country.

For a domestic operator or server, the restriction is service termination; for an overseas website, it is an access block.

KuCoin, MEXC and other named platforms

KuCoin, MEXC, BitMart, BingX, Phemex, XT.com, Bitrue, CoinW and BTCC are among the platforms affected, according to CoinDesk’s reporting on the FIU action.

The nine named platforms account for nine of the 27 websites covered by the restrictions.

The regulator’s announcement describes the targets as websites tied to unregistered providers, rather than setting out a separate operational rationale for each named platform. It restricts domestic access through service termination when the operator or server is domestic and access blocking when the website is overseas.

Enforcement beyond website restrictions

The website action sits alongside a wider FIU enforcement pipeline. The agency has referred 44 unregistered operators to investigators, CoinDesk reported, extending the matter beyond measures aimed at limiting online access.

The FIU has also warned users that recovering funds held with unauthorized platforms may be difficult. That warning puts particular weight on the practical consequences for customers whose ability to reach a platform is curtailed, while the reported referrals remain with investigators.
