Betex' Peer to Peer Binary Option Platform'

https://betexlab.com/

Binary options is a financial derivatives instrument that challenges traders to foresee the right direction of the price movement for an underlying asset at a given point of time in the future. Forecasting horizon varies from a few minutes up to several months. To receive income for having defined the right direction, in which the price of an underlying asset
happens to move, traders can use binary options instead of actually buying that asset. Thus, it is enough to forecast one of the two possible options — price increase or decrease. If the assumption is accurate for a given moment in time and asset price changes in the indicated direction, traders gain. And otherwise, they lose. Any trading pairs that are comprised of quotes (currencies, indices, stocks, metals, minerals, oil etc.) may be considered as basic assets for binary options.

Market overview
According to the utmost conservative estimates, the volume for the world market of binary options is at least $30 billion per year, with almost $5 billion yearly in Japan alone. Exact estimation of this figure is not easy to obtain since in most countries there is no reliable data on the binary options market turnover because of its extreme shadiness and untruthfulness as well as the lack of clearing from the overwhelming number of brokers.

Nonetheless, these days, binary options are no longer popular. Instead of building a user-centric, longlasting system for people to enjoy and benefit from, binary options have been often used to scam traders.

Thus, despite the huge budgets spent on advertising, binary options have lost credibility. In some countries, they were given a semi-legal status. And even though there are no alternatives on the market, over the past three years there has been a significant decrease in brokers‘ revenues.

Problem and Disadvantage

▸ Traders bet against brokers. So trader‘s loss is broker‘s gain. Hence, the reason for brokers to make sure traders mostly fail. There is a common belief that 90% of traders‘ funds eventually end up in brokers‘ pockets.
▸ In general, trader‘s reward, in case he was right, stays fixed regardless of other factors, meaning, sometimes you should have had way more than did. Maximum that‘s ever available varies from 75% to 90% of the rate.
▸ Trading process takes place in a broker‘s backend, so it is not transparent. Such system allows manipulating data in a way that makes it difficult for anyone to find out the process was altered.
▸ At times, it‘s required to make a deposit to start trading, what takes time. Withdrawal takes even more time. If funds get frozen, users have to order or buy something to be able to make withdrawal.
▸ Quotations are often obtained from providers in a corrupt manner. And even then, it does not guarantee accuracy and validity of the given data.
▸ Even if brokers treat you right, it is impossible to prove, making trust a critical factor in a decision-making process.

Betex model: solutions and benefits

▸ Outcome of a bet makes no difference to us (as the platform provider), or to brokers, as neither of us can actively take part in the betting process. We charge service fees, while traders place bets against each other (peer-to-peer).
▸ No deposits are required and an instant automatic withdrawal of funds is ensured. It is mainly possible due to the use of smart contracts.
▸ Traders who accurately determine future changes are rewarded with 95% of funds. In case of success, trader‘s gain largely depends on the ratio of the correct and incorrect outcomes;
▸ Both the platform and brokers can always prove authenticity and accuracy of the results. In the worst case scenario, if a mistake is made, it will be admitted or justified. Hence, it is no longer needed to trust each other to be sure terms are fair.
▸ Trading is realized with ERC-20 tokens of stable value. It is stored and presented in the Ethereum blockchain, making it possible to audit the platform operations in real time, or later. Open access to data prevents intermediaries from altering results;
▸ 50% of the platform's profit made from commission is distributed among BETEX token holders. 40% goes to brokers.
▸ A composite rate, used in all calculations, is derived from several open sources by an established algorithm, considering the value of each source that is defined by trading volume. Using multiple sources makes entangles possible manipulations with the rate of an underlying asset, since they would have to be done in several places simultaneously. Working out of the composite rate is a completely open and transparent process: it is being logged and presented for public access in real time.
