A new cryptocurrency-focused sportsbook and casino platform, BetHog, has launched in select regions, coinciding with Bitcoin's record surge past $90,000 following Donald Trump's election as the 47th US president.

Led by FanDuel co-founders Nigel Eccles and Rob Jones, BetHog secured $6 million in initial funding from venture capital firm 6MV and other notable investors. The platform operates on the Solana blockchain and accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether (USDT) as payment methods.

BetHog features exclusive games including HODL, Thermonuclear Boars, and Liar's Dice, alongside offerings from established providers Pragmatic and Evolution. The platform emphasizes unique play-along and skill-based titles, combined with comprehensive VIP programs.

Currently licensed in Anjouan, BetHog is not available in the United States or most of Europe, though future expansion is planned where regulations permit. The launch follows BetDEX Exchange, another crypto sportsbook that debuted in May.

The platform's emergence comes during a notable period for cryptocurrency, with Bitcoin trading at $91,205.99 and analysts predicting potential rises above $100,000 by month's end, driven by expectations of reduced cryptocurrency regulations under the Trump administration.

This development follows recent industry challenges, including the $4 million hack of MetaWin, another Anjouan-licensed cryptocurrency casino based in London.
