About me

Crystal World Holdings is a multi-faceted company that develops sports-related financial products for trading on the global markets. As the CEO and President of the company, Chris Rabalais is responsible for leading the strategic direction of the company, developing new products, coordinating partnerships with sports organizations, and ensuring regulatory compliance with all pertinent Governmental agencies. Since the company’s founding in 2007, Chris Rabalais has developed Crystal World Holdings into the premier first-mover in the industry. Crystal World Holdings offers several innovative products to its clients. These include the SportsRiskIndex®, HostCitySelect® and HostCountrySelect®. SportsRiskIndex® is an exchange-traded index futures contract that measures the value of sports teams and franchises. HostCitySelect® and HostCountrySelect® are binary location contracts designed to mitigate the economic risks of cities or countries that host major sporting events such as the Olympics or the World Cup. Chris Rabalais was the primary driver and team leader of the Washington, D.C. based economics and legal teams responsible for developing these dynamic and innovative products.
