Crypto.com is moving deeper into prediction markets through a new partnership with PYMNTS, while a separate U.S. sports prediction markets platform tied to the company is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026.
According to the source report, Crypto.com and PYMNTS announced an exclusive partnership to launch what they described as the first AI-powered Prediction Market Contracts on regulated exchange OG Prediction Markets. The contracts are designed to let users trade on measurable global AI adoption data.
AI-focused contracts launch on OG Prediction Markets
The report says the new contracts will center on observable AI adoption metrics, though it does not specify who will supply the underlying data. That makes the launch notable as a prediction-markets expansion, but key operating details remain undisclosed in the source material.
For readers tracking the broader wagering-adjacent market, the significance is less about traditional sportsbook betting and more about the continued overlap between regulated prediction products and crypto-linked trading platforms.
U.S. sports prediction platform targeted for Q3 2026
Separately, the article says Prospect Prediction Markets Inc. signed a definitive agreement with OG Prediction Markets and Crypto.com Derivatives North America to structure a sports prediction markets platform in the United States.
That platform is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026, based on the source report. No state-by-state rollout details, product scope, or launch conditions were provided.
The same report also highlighted a shifting regulatory backdrop, including an SEC proposal for updated transfer-agent rules that would formally recognize blockchain-based ownership records if adopted.
For players and market watchers, the main takeaway is straightforward: Crypto.com is attaching its brand to prediction-market expansion in two ways at once—through live AI-linked contracts now and through a planned U.S. sports market product next year. The next details to watch are platform structure, data sources, and where any eventual U.S. sports offering will be available.
