In a significant development in the world of prediction markets, FanDuel Predicts announced the expansion of its event contract offerings on June 9, 2026. This new initiative includes a variety of sports and entertainment contracts as well as combination event contracts, all facilitated through Crypto.com’s CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse, OG Prediction Markets. This expansion aims to provide customers with a broader range of market options and enhance their overall experience on the platform.
James Cooper, Senior Vice President of Flywheel and New Ventures at FanDuel, stated, “FanDuel Predicts was built to deliver a best-in-class prediction market experience to our customers. These additional product sets give our customers more choices by expanding the breadth of sports and entertainment contracts on our platform.” This move is expected to attract more participants by diversifying the types of contracts available.
Joe Anzures, Chief Business Officer of Crypto.com, expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing that it brings a new depth to FanDuel Predicts’ offerings. “By leveraging our robust, regulated exchange and clearinghouse infrastructure, we are enabling a mainstream prediction markets experience just in time for the World Cup. This underscores our capability to deliver scalable, regulated derivatives infrastructure for the world’s biggest moments,” Anzures commented.
The newly added product offerings at Crypto.com’s OG Prediction Markets will provide FanDuel Predicts customers with access to a wider array of markets across various sports and entertainment fields, supplementing the existing contracts available through CME Group. The combination of these markets will also enhance the ability of customers to trade multiple event contracts. With the World Cup starting this week, customers can expect to see new contract offerings from both CME Group and OG Prediction Markets.
FanDuel Predicts operates across all 50 states, offering contracts on a range of metrics including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, commodities such as oil and gas, gold, cryptocurrencies, and key economic indicators like GDP and CPI. In states where FanDuel does not provide sports betting, users can still engage with trades related to sports and entertainment outcomes. Contract prices range from $0.01 to $0.99, allowing customers to buy contracts if they believe an event will occur or sell if they do not.
This platform is a result of a joint venture between FanDuel Group and CME Group, with contracts listed via the CME and Crypto.com derivatives exchanges and regulated by the CFTC. FanDuel Prediction Markets LLC operates as a registered futures commission merchant and a member of the National Futures Association (NFA). Customers are encouraged to read the terms of the agreement and related risk disclosures, as trading futures, options, and cleared swaps involves significant risk.
CME Group is recognized as the world’s leading derivatives marketplace, enabling clients to engage in a myriad of trading options and helping them efficiently manage risk while capturing opportunities. The company boasts a comprehensive range of global benchmark products across various asset classes, thereby empowering market participants globally.
Founded in 2016, Crypto.com is a prominent player in the cryptocurrency space, known for its strong emphasis on regulatory compliance, security, and privacy. The platform aims for “Cryptocurrency in Every Wallet™,” focusing on accelerating cryptocurrency adoption through innovative applications like prediction markets and tokenized real-world assets.
OG, the brand representing Crypto.com’s global operations, involves various business lines catering to a worldwide customer base. It offers trading of prediction market contracts encompassing multiple asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, financials, economics, and cultural events. This versatile platform not only allows customers to trade but also fosters community engagement and competition.
With the combination of FanDuel Predicts and Crypto.com’s infrastructure, the landscape of prediction markets is set for significant innovation, marking an exciting time for consumers and traders alike.
