Crypto.com launches predictions-only platform before Super Bowl

Prediction Markets

OG, a new prediction market experience, announced its official launch, introducing a new way for consumers to trade, engage with others, and climb the leaderboard.

Combining the accessibility of a consumer app, engagement features of a social media network, and the rigor of an institutional-grade platform, OG provides sports fans access to a most comprehensive range of CFTC-regulated sports event contracts as well as additional event contracts across financial, political, cultural, and entertainment events. The first one million users to sign up with OG will receive up to $500 in rewards.

Powered and offered by the digital financial platform leader, Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA), a CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse and affiliate of Crypto.com, OG enables users to trade on the likelihood of real-world events – from the winner of the Super Bowl and March Madness to economic indicators, entertainment outcomes, and cultural trends.

OG aggregates market-driven probabilities into clear, continuously updated forecasts, giving users a transparent view of what the crowd believes will happen next. Sport fans and consumers also have the ability to connect with other traders, share their opinions, and celebrate their triumphs. OG also plans to provide access to CDNA’s margin prediction contracts offering through Crypto.com’s federally licensed futures commission merchant. This will be the first prediction markets platform to offer margin trading.

“Crypto.com successfully built one of the largest brands and best app experiences in cryptocurrency during a period of hypergrowth amid a complex regulatory landscape, and now we will work to replicate this experience with OG in the prediction market space,” said Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com. “We’ve experienced 40x weekly growth in our prediction market business over the last six months. This type of growth warrants a concerted effort with a standalone platform. Our goal is to establish OG as the premier sports prediction market technology with the best customer experience.”

As part of the launch of OG, Nick Lundgren has been named CEO of OG. Nick also serves as Chief Legal Officer of Crypto.com, where he led the company’s entrance with the nation’s first CFTC-regulated sports event contracts in December 2024 as President of CDNA. He has also spearheaded Crypto.com as the industry leader in licenses and certifications and procured the acquisition of CDNA in 2022, the then-largest acquisition in crypto industry history.
