Abstract: A system for allowing trading of unexpired smart betting contracts using cryptocurrency for trading, comprising a computer and a crypto exchange application executing on the computer. The system creates a smart contract to host a bet between at least two betting devices, the bet associated with an ongoing event. The system also associates unexpired betting contracts provided by the devices with the smart contract, the unexpired contracts associated with the ongoing event. The system also enters funds associated with the bet into the smart contract, the funds received from electronic wallets of the betting devices. Upon conclusion of the event, the system also determines a result of the event, and disburses the funds to the betting device associated with the winning bet.
