72、s our unique fan activation solutions to generate and deliver high quality leads to our U.S.sportsbook and global casinogaming partners.In early 2025 following a near year-long due diligence process,we began implementing an expansion strategyfocused on identifying and pursuing complementary growth o
73、pportunities within the global crypto gaming market a fastemerging segment of the iGaming industry being fueled by the integration of blockchain technologies and gaming experiences;and,in turn,giving rise to new online gaming economies in the process.By leveraging blockchain technologies,SharpLink a
74、ims to tap into the rapidly evolving landscape of online gamingeconomies,capitalizing on the increasing integration of cryptocurrencies within the iGaming sector.For example,by developingpartnerships with crypto-focused gaming platforms,SharpLink can enhance its lead generation capabilities while of
75、feringinnovative marketing solutions that cater to a tech-savvy audience.This strategic move is expected to not only diversifySharpLinks service offerings but also position the Company as a key player in the intersection of gaming and blockchaintechnology,ultimately driving sustainable growth and en
76、hancing value for our business partners and stockholders.Affiliate Marketing Services On December 31,2021,in a cash and stock transaction,SharpLink acquired certain assets of FourCubed,includingFourCubeds online casino gaming-focused affiliate marketing network,known as PAS.net(“PAS”).For more than
77、17 years,PAShas focused on delivering quality traffic and player acquisitions,retention and conversions to regulated and global casino gamingoperator partners worldwide.In fact,PAS won industry recognition as the European online gambling industrys Top AffiliateManager,Top Affiliate Website and Top A
78、ffiliate Program for four consecutive years by both .The strategic acquisition of FourCubed brought SharpLink talent with proven experience in affiliatemarketing services and recurring net gaming revenue(“NGR”)contracts with many of the worlds leading online casino gamblingcompanies,including Party
79、Poker,bwin,UNIBET,GG Poker,888 poker,betfair,WPT Global and others.As part of our strategy to expand our affiliate marketing services to the emerging American sports betting market,inNovember 2022,we began a systematic roll-out of our U.S.-focused performance-based marketing business with the launch
80、 of 15state-specific,content-rich affiliate marketing websites.Our user-friendly,state-specific domains are designed to attract,acquireand drive local sports betting and casino traffic directly to our sportsbook and casino partners which are licensed to operate in eachrespective state.As of March 15
81、,2025,we are licensed to operate in 18 jurisdictions and own and operate sites serving 17 U.S.states(Arizona,Colorado,Iowa,Illinois,Indiana,Kansas,Louisiana,Maryland,Michigan,New Jersey,New York,Ohio,Pennsylvania,Tennessee,Virginia,West Virginia and Wyoming).As more states legalize sports betting,ou
82、r portfolio of state-specific affiliate marketing properties may expand to include them.We largely utilize search engine optimization and programmaticadvertising campaigns to drive traffic to our direct-to-player(“D2P”)sites.In the first quarter of 2023,we unveiled SharpB,a U.S.sports betting educat
83、ion hub for experienced and novicesports fans.SharpB is a robust educational website dedicated to teaching new sports betting enthusiasts the fundamentalsof,and winning strategies for,navigating the legal sports betting landscape responsibly.42025/5/20 10:55sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1981535/000164

85、 of Directors”)launched an effort to identify the best growthopportunities that would allow us to strategically leverage our existing performance-based marketing platform and industryrelationships to achieve deeper and more lucrative penetration into the digital gaming and sports betting markets.Thr
86、oughout thisprocess,we carefully evaluated more than two dozen compelling opportunities and determined that the combination of marketexpansion,cost efficiency,security and player demand make crypto gaming one of the most promising growth opportunities in theiGaming industry today.Consequently,on Feb
87、ruary 24,2025,we announced that we acquired a 10%equity stake in U.K.-basedArmchair Enterprises Limited(“Armchair”),which owns and operates CryptoC.The acquisition was made for$500,000in cash,along with a right of first refusal to acquire a controlling interest in Armchair.Launched in October 2024,C
88、ryptoC is an innovative online gaming platform that partners with some of theworlds leading gaming studios.It utilizes blockchain technology to provide users with a secure,transparent and engaging next-generation gaming experience.The platform plans to offer over 5,500 online slots and table games,a
89、 live dealer casino,a premiumsportsbook,an eSports betting hub and a racebook,among other features.CryptoC accepts a wide range ofcryptocurrencies,including Bitcoin,Ethereum,Litecoin and more,catering to various user preferences globally while ensuringenhanced security,transparency and anonymity for
90、 players.CryptoC offers both traditional registration and Web3connectivity.By connecting instantly with wallets like MetaMask and Trust Wallet,players can easily deposit and withdraw fundswithin seconds.In addition,CryptoC serves over one billion unique Telegram users by providing a Telegram Casinoi
91、ntegration,which allows anyone to join and start playing with just one click.Among the key factors that informed our decision to pursue growth opportunities in crypto gaming were:The crypto gaming industry is rapidly growing,with more players opting for blockchain-based casinos due to theirtranspare
92、ncy,security and quick transactions.We believe that the investment made in Armchair will help to positionSharpLink as an early mover,ready to benefit from the expected industry expansion;Cryptocurrency transactions usually have lower fees and faster processing times compared to traditional paymentme
93、thods,which benefits both the Company and our users;and As more players and operators move towards decentralized gambling,early pioneers,like SharpLink,may have anadvantage to secure a competitive edge over traditional operators.During the fiscal years ended December 31,2024 and 2023,our continuing
94、operations generated revenues from our affiliatemarketing services of$3,662,349 and$4,952,725,respectively,representing a decrease of 26.1%on a comparative year-over-yearbasis.For the three months ended March 31,2025 and 2024,our continuing operations generated revenues from our affiliatemarketing s
95、ervices which declined 24.0%to$741,731 from$975,946,respectively.Discontinued Operations SharpLinks business-building platform previously included the provision of Free-To-Play(“F2P”)sports game andmobile app development services to a marquis list of customers,which included several of the biggest n
96、ames in sports and sportsbetting,including Turner Sports,NBA,NFL,PGA TOUR,NASCAR and BetMGM,among others.In addition,we also formerlyowned and operated a variety of proprietary real-money fantasy sports and sports simulation games and mobile apps through ourSportsHub/fantasy sports business unit,whi
97、ch also owned and operated LeagueSafe,one of the fantasy sports industrys mosttrusted sources for collecting and protecting private fantasy league dues.On January 18,2024,SharpLink sold all of the membership interests in our Sports Gaming Client Services and SportsHubGaming Network business units to
98、 RSports Interactive,Inc.(“RSports”)for$22.5 million in an all-cash transaction(the“Sale ofBusiness”),pursuant to the signing of a Purchase Agreement(the“PA”)and other related agreements.Nearly all of the employeesof these acquired business units also moved to RSports to help ensure a seamless trans

133、with lower transaction fees,quickly made Bitcoin andother cryptos appealing to gamblers.The first foray into crypto gaming came in 2012 when SatoshiDice was launched.This platform popularized Bitcointransactions in online gambling and introduced“provably fair”tech,which uses cryptographic algorithms
134、 to ensure game fairness.The first crypto casinos,including bitZino,SealsWithClubs,and Bit777,were launched soon after,offering anonymity and securitynot associated with fiat-based platforms.Crypto casinos quickly spread across the world,and technological innovations meant thatthese platforms could
135、soon be accessed from mobile devices.They allowed players to play all their favorite games,like slots,blackjack and poker,on a mobile device.This convenience was further enhanced by allowing players to deposit and withdrawusing various cryptocurrencies.Despite initial skepticism and a lack of regula
136、tion exposing players to risky sites,the crypto casinosector has evolved significantly.Today with dozens of crypto casinos operating worldwide,gaming consumers are choosing cryptocasinos for their transparency,security and innovative features.We expect that as U.S.and foreign regulations evolve to i

165、itcoin in the global financial system as a true contender to other asset classes but also signals a profoundchange in how the U.S.government perceives crypto tokens and the decentralized financial system.To help the administration takeanother step towards overhauling U.S.policy on cryptocurrencies,P

167、siteTruth Social.At the U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission(“SEC”),newly appointed Chairman Paul Atkins spoke at a roundtablein April 2025 hosted by the SECs newly formed Crypto Task Force which was launched in January 2025.The Crypto Task Forceis attempting to set the tone for a new era of crypt
168、o regulation,one that seeks to change the approach from adversarial tocollaborative.On April 25,2025,CNBC reported that Chairman Atkins told reporters on the sidelines of the session that he wasopen to a broad reassessment of crypto-related rules.In the European Union(“EU”),governmental bodies passe
169、d the Markets in Crypto-Assets Act(“MiCA”)in the fourthquarter of 2024 and its Digital Operations Resilience Act(DORA)took effect in January 2025,collectively representing thepotential for a uniquely secure and transparent crypto environment in the EU.The MiCA regulation was created to protect inves
170、torsand preserve financial stability,while fostering innovation and promoting the attractiveness of the crypto-asset sector.In parallel toMiCA,principles for crypto cybersecurity have been introduced in DORA.This regulation sets out a new EU framework formanaging information and communication techno

173、 and dynamic industry that presents significant challenges to players,operatorsand regulators.This birthed the introduction of cryptocurrency into the casino landscape,which gained popularity across severalnations and presented gambling platforms with promising potential to attract new players.It is
174、 important to note that casinoregulations vary from country to country,but in general,casinos are legally permitted based on the jurisdiction and legalregulations of a specific country.Before the introduction of crypto in casinos,traditional payment methods dominated the entirescene,but as the indus
175、try has evolved,there was a need for safer financial methods that would not be susceptible to attacksperpetrated by scammers.This shift led to the emergence of crypto casinos.However,many countries regulate traditional online casinos but lack specific rules for crypto gaming.For example,whileMalta i
176、s known for its crypto-friendly approach,the Malta Gaming Authority(“MGA”)has yet to broadly approve crypto casinos.This means that although cryptocurrency is accepted in Malta,MGA-licensed casinos dont typically operate with digitalcurrencies.Most licensed crypto casinos operate under jurisdictions
177、 with lighter regulatory frameworks,such as Curacao,Panama,and Costa Rica.These licenses offer some credibility,though they may not provide the stringent protections associated with topregulators.In the crypto world,however,a Curacao license is often viewed as a reliable standard,balancing accessibi
