Creating a userbase for Bether through the betting platform has been a clever way to launch a new cryptocurrency as it guarantees demand for the coin. While Bether is only in its infancy the team behind Bethereum have expressed a desire to see it take its place on mainstream crypto exchanges.
As Bethereum’s star continues to rise as a betting platform it could very well have a positive knock-on effect on Bether as well.
