FanDuel Predicts Partners With Crypto.com to Expand Sports Event Contract Offerings

FanDuel Predicts has added a second exchange partner to its platform, announcing a deal with Crypto.com’s OG Prediction Markets that brings new sports and entertainment contracts and more complex combination-style products to the prediction market platform.

The partnership, announced in early June 2026, represents the most significant expansion of FanDuel Predicts since the platform launched on December 22, 2025 as a joint venture between FanDuel Group and CME Group. OG Prediction Markets from Crypto.com launched in February 2026, and its addition as an exchange partner means FanDuel Predicts now operates with two distinct liquidity and clearinghouse sources behind its product offerings.

What the Partnership Adds

The Crypto.com partnership enables FanDuel Predicts to list new sports and entertainment event contracts that were not previously available on the platform. Beyond expanded market coverage, the deal introduces combination-style products that allow traders to string multiple outcomes together in a single contract, a structure that functions similarly to parlays in traditional sports betting.

Joe Anzures, Chief Business Officer of Crypto.com, described the timing as deliberate: “We are thrilled to partner with FanDuel Predicts to bring a new level of depth and experience to its prediction markets experience. By leveraging our robust, regulated exchange and clearinghouse infrastructure, we are enabling a mainstream prediction markets experience just in time for the World Cup.”

The World Cup reference is not incidental. Prediction market platforms have recorded record trading volumes during the tournament, with Kalshi reporting $13.5 million in fees on a single day in June. The timing of the Crypto.com partnership positions FanDuel Predicts to capture a larger share of that activity during the tournament’s remaining rounds.

FanDuel Predicts in the Competitive Landscape

FanDuel Predicts is available in all 50 states plus Washington D.C., though specific markets vary by location. Sports event contracts may be restricted in states where traditional sports betting is already legal, which means the platform’s deepest opportunity lies in states where FanDuel’s sportsbook cannot operate.

The distinction between prediction market trading and traditional sports betting is central to how these platforms have gained nationwide access. Because prediction market contracts are regulated by the CFTC rather than state gaming commissions, they fall outside the state-by-state licensing framework that governs sportsbooks. That regulatory positioning gives FanDuel Predicts a presence in markets its core sportsbook cannot reach.

The FanDuel Sportsbook has held approximately 36 percent of U.S. sportsbook gross gaming revenue in competitive markets, and the prediction market arm represents an attempt to expand that footprint into the addressable population of bettors in non-legal states.

Crypto.com Is Already in the Space

FanDuel Predicts is not Crypto.com’s first prediction market partnership. DraftKings Predictions, Fanatics, and Underdog have all already integrated with Crypto.com’s exchange and clearinghouse infrastructure. DraftKings and Fanatics, in particular, have rolled out parlay-style combination products using Crypto.com’s inventory, which is the same capability now coming to FanDuel Predicts.

The broad adoption of Crypto.com infrastructure across competing prediction market platforms reflects a pattern familiar from the sportsbook world, where a small number of technology and odds providers sit behind multiple competing consumer brands. Crypto.com appears to be positioning itself as that kind of infrastructure layer for the prediction market industry.

For bettors interested in exploring these platforms, the prediction market space now offers meaningful product differentiation between operators. Combination contracts, in particular, are a product category that rewards users who understand how to evaluate correlated outcomes, a skill set that translates directly from DFS and sports betting experience.

A Market Still Taking Shape

FanDuel Predicts launched just six months ago, and its product lineup has evolved considerably in that time. The Crypto.com partnership suggests the platform’s leadership views combination products and expanded market coverage as essential features for competing against Kalshi, which built an early lead in sports event contracts.

Wall Street analysts have begun projecting meaningful revenue from prediction markets at scale. A research note published in mid-June projected that DraftKings Predictions alone could generate $1 billion annually by 2030 if it achieves 20 to 30 percent market share in its active states. If that projection proves accurate, it implies substantial total market revenue across all platforms, and FanDuel Predicts would expect to compete for a significant portion of that figure given its brand recognition and distribution.

The World Cup has served as a proving ground for all prediction market platforms, generating the kind of sustained trading volume and public attention that tests product resilience and pricing accuracy. FanDuel Predicts’ expanded Crypto.com-powered lineup arriving during the tournament gives it a timely opportunity to demonstrate what the upgraded platform can deliver to traders.
