I had a interesting situation with a fantasy sports platform based out of Southeast Asia. Their numbers looked solid, and they had a good user base, but turns out they were just "operating until someone says stop." And someone did — the government in one of their biggest markets cracked down, and their token took a 60% hit in a matter of days. Now I try to pay more attention to whether a platform is proactively regulated or just hoping to slip through the cracks. The regulated ones might grow slower, but they survive longer. What helped me wrap my head around how regulation actually shapes value (beyond just legality) was this breakdown: https://coinranking.com/blog/regulation-impact-igaming-valuation/. It explains how investor trust and legal clarity can actually increase a platform’s value — not just protect it from collapse. I used to avoid anything too “official” because I thought it meant less upside, but now I see it as a way to filter out the chaos. Not perfect, but definitely lowers the risk of sudden shutdowns or frozen assets. If I see a team being open about their licensing path, it usually tells me they’re thinking beyond the next bull run. That’s what I look for now.
