Crypto.com Launches Predict Pro, an Exchange-Grade Prediction Market Platform for U.S. Traders
Published October 15, 2026, 18:20 UTC. Based on Crypto.com's official company announcement, reporting from The Crypto Times, PANews, Croupier.media, and Crypto Economy.
Crypto.com launched Predict Pro on October 15, 2026, a prediction-markets platform built into the Crypto.com Exchange that gives U.S. traders exchange-grade tools for trading contracts tied to real-world events. The platform connects users to OG.com Markets, a Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)-registered exchange and clearinghouse, and replaces the simple Yes or No button of basic prediction markets with a full order book, real-time market depth, and professional order types, according to Crypto.com's announcement.
Order-book event trading, not just Yes or No
Predict Pro's core pitch is price discovery. Traders see the full CFTC-regulated order book with real-time bid and ask depth and probability charts, so they can see how much liquidity backs each probability level before committing capital, Crypto.com said. The platform supports five order types: market, limit, stop-market, stop-limit, and post-only, letting traders name their price, protect their downside, and avoid slippage. It also recommends markets automatically based on a user's active trading.
"Most prediction markets treat event trading as a binary decision, but sophisticated market participants require the same depth, liquidity, and precision they expect from standard financial derivatives," said Iskandar Vanblarcum, Managing Director of Crypto.com Exchange, in the announcement. He said the platform brings full order books, risk management controls, and parlay capabilities to prediction markets with complete transparency and execution power.
Combos of 2 to 20 predictions
Users can combine between 2 and 20 predictions into a single position with multiplied returns, through same-game combos, multi-event combos, and in-event trading, according to the announcement. The available markets cover elections, sports, cryptocurrency prices, Federal Reserve decisions, climate, and culture, all from one wallet integrated into OG.com's CFTC-registered futures commission merchant. The launch positions the product against established prediction markets by aiming at professional traders who want the execution controls of derivatives desks rather than a binary retail interface.
Resolution terms upfront, settlement within an hour
Every contract explicitly displays its resolution source, settlement timeline, and dispute window before a trade is placed, Crypto.com said. After an event's outcome is determined, contracts settle automatically, typically within one hour of resolution, according to the announcement.
The product is available to U.S. users who complete account verification and onboarding through Crypto.com's Introducing Broker and OG.com's Futures Commission Merchant. Predict Pro is offered by Foris DAX, Inc., which is registered with the National Futures Association as an Introducing Broker. It connects to Foris DAX FCM LLC, doing business as OG.com Broker, which is registered with the NFA as a Futures Commission Merchant. The contracts trade on OG.com Markets, a brand of North American Derivatives Exchange, Inc., which is registered with the CFTC as a designated contract market and derivatives clearing organization, according to the announcement.
A prediction-market land grab
The launch lands in the middle of an aggressive expansion by Crypto.com into regulated derivatives and event trading. On September 17, the company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to trade perpetual futures on individual stocks, The Crypto Times reported. On September 8, Robinhood took minority stakes in Crypto.com and its prediction-markets spinout, in an arrangement that also had Robinhood routing order flow through the same exchange and taking an equity stake in it, according to The Crypto Times. The same day Predict Pro launched, PredictArena announced its own commercial launch alongside an introducing broker relationship with Crypto.com Derivatives North America, positioning creator-led prediction markets on the same CFTC-regulated infrastructure, Basis Desk reported.
Regulatory scrutiny is part of the backdrop: The Crypto Times noted that U.S. lawmakers are examining how prediction market platforms monitor activity and verify users. Crypto.com's answer, through Predict Pro, is to anchor the product to CFTC-registered venues and NFA-registered intermediaries rather than the offshore model.
