The Hellebore platform markets itself as the first NFT-powered sports prediction game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, Hellebore players can start by purchasing a \u201cSiber\u201d NFT for 0.03 ETH, which grants them access to the site.

Whereby the first sports users can predict outcomes of baseball, football, and soccer to win prizes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forward, the company anticipates adding hockey, golf, tennis, and basketball integrations by the end of 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bigger Picture of the NFT Market and the Sporting Prediction Industry&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Swinmurn is an investment guru, particularly in the sporting industry. He has been in the sporting industry for years after selling Zappos.com to Amazon back in 2009. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playhellebore.com\/how-to-play\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hellebore<\/a> is his first Web3 venture since he left the online shoe company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swinmurn said that he became more interested in the Web3 industry during the Covid pandemic because of NBA TopShot and other NFT collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cOnce I saw it, I couldn\u2019t unsee it,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2022\/09\/06\/zappos-founder-launches-nft-game-sports-predictions\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, Some NBA TopShot NFTs featuring the likes of LeBron James have sold for $100,000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Swinmurn, the cryptocurrency and the NFT market possesses a lot of potential energy, thus prudent in building now in preparation for future bull markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sporting industry and the NFT market have attracted more investors mostly due to their sheer size of the global market. Furthermore, the play-to-earn industry has been in the lead among other DeFi ecosystems according to data collected by Coingecko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining the sporting prediction industry with the prediction market creates a major company with the potential of hitting a billion dollars in a few years. Remember Swinmurn left Zappos.com before it hit the $1 billion market cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Possibly, Swinmurn sees this as the best opportunity to create a startup that ends up hitting a billion dollars in a few years. Moreover, the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinwisdom.com\/where-to-buy-nft-art\/\">NFT market<\/a>, let alone the cryptocurrency industry, is less regulated around the world.\u00a0Thereby giving investors a chance to play with speculative aspects of cryptocurrency traders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side Notes&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blockchain technology through Web3 has convinced many investors from traditional markets. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/now\/1-3-billion-sports-nft-063000532.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">report<\/a> by market decipher, the Sports NFT Market size is estimated at $2.6 billion in 2022 and forecasted to reach 41.6 billion by 2032.
