Crypto.com has launched OG, a standalone prediction market application, formally spinning out a business line it introduced in 2024. The new platform is available exclusively in the United States and is operated by Crypto.com Derivatives North America, a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-registered exchange and clearinghouse.
The company said the decision followed rapid growth in prediction market activity, reporting a 40-fold increase in weekly volumes over the past six months. OG allows users to trade outcome-based contracts across sports and other events, positioning the platform alongside established players such as Polymarket and Kalshi. Crypto.com executives described prediction markets as a large and expanding segment of the broader derivatives landscape.
OG enters an increasingly competitive market as both crypto-native firms and traditional financial institutions explore regulated event contracts. Coinbase recently partnered with Kalshi to offer similar products, while other exchanges are evaluating expansion into the space. The launch reflects growing institutional interest in prediction markets as a regulated, data-driven extension of digital asset trading.
