Former Wall Street investment manager Will McDonough launched iCash in September 2017. McDonough explains how he is using this network to launch its first product, which applies cryptocurrency to online sports wagering.
Now is the time to jump on the cryptocurrency craze, says McDonough. "We're still very, very early. This is a true supply and demand story," McDonough said. This week, both Bitcoin and Ethereum surpassed new milestones. After surpassing the $11,000 mark this week, Bitcoin is now trading at $9,614.
FaceOff, iCash's first product launch, will be a decentralized application for online sports wagering. McDonough says by using cryptocurrency, this platform removes the "house" and risk. McDonough says by leveraging Ethereum and smart contracts, FaceOff can create auto-settlements.

American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
