Crypto.com expands Solidus Labs surveillance to U.S. prediction markets unit
Crypto.com expanded its partnership with Solidus Labs on August 14 to monitor its U.S. prediction markets and tokenized securities using the HALO surveillance platform. The unit operates under OG Prediction Markets (OG.com) and Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA), which is registered with U.S. regulators. Crypto.com cited competition with Kalshi and Polymarket as context for the move. Solidus Labs' HALO system correlates order data, wallet activity, social media signals, and open-source intelligence to detect manipulation and compliance risks.
Surveillance infrastructure is becoming the price of admission for regulated prediction markets. Crypto.com's Solidus Labs deployment follows Kalshi's similar move, raising the compliance bar for every CFTC-registered venue seeking institutional capital. The HALO platform's ability to fuse on-chain and off-chain data matters because regulators are probing exactly those seams for manipulation.
For Crypto.com, the partnership supports its dual-brand U.S. strategy through OG.com and CDNA as it tries to close the gap with incumbents. Smaller venues without comparable third-party surveillance face steeper regulatory timelines and colder institutional interest. The cost is vendor dependency: any gap in Solidus Labs' coverage would still need catching by other layers. A second platform deploying the same vendor this quarter would confirm surveillance is shifting from differentiator to baseline infrastructure.
