I think so. During the World Cup, some bookmakers made huge profits. Of course, they will make money seem legal by laundering money. Virtual currency is a good choice. Of course, this practice violates certain laws, but it will not stop their desire for benefits. A large number of BTC and ETH transactions will follow, and prices seem to rise accordingly.
This is my personal thought. This may be naive and perhaps sensitive. Welcome to discuss.
Probably. We'll see how much these guys would make and let's see how will the market of bitcoin and ethereum would be affected once all these money has been laundered or carried over into cryptocurrency. But I guess these bookmakers might diversify their money in case the feds get to their business.
