Crypto.com has launched OG, a standalone prediction market platform, following significant growth in its US-based prediction market operations. Previously integrated into Crypto.com’s main app, OG is operated by Crypto.com Derivatives North America (CDNA), a CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse. The platform is currently available exclusively in the United States and aims to compete with major players such as Polymarket and Kalshi.
Explosive Growth Drives Dedicated Platform
Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek noted that weekly activity in the company’s prediction market segment grew 40 times over six months, prompting the creation of a dedicated platform. Nick Lundgren, Crypto.com’s chief legal officer and CEO of OG, highlighted that prediction markets represent a “deca-billion dollar industry,” reflecting rapid adoption and investor interest.
Prediction Markets See Record Trading Volumes
The broader prediction market sector has experienced remarkable growth, expanding from under $100 million per month in early 2024 to more than $13 billion by the end of 2025. Polymarket and Kalshi, the leading platforms, collectively processed $37 billion in predictions in 2025 and raised $3.6 billion in equity investment, signaling strong market confidence.
Industry projections suggest prediction market revenues could increase from approximately $2 billion annually to over $10 billion by 2030. OG aims to leverage this momentum, offering a dedicated platform for event-based trading and contracts, positioning Crypto.com to capture a significant share of the rapidly expanding US prediction market landscape.
