Crypto.com expands Solidus Labs surveillance to U.S. prediction markets unit
Crypto.com expanded its partnership with Solidus Labs to monitor its U.S. prediction markets unit using the HALO surveillance platform. The unit operates under the brands OG Prediction Markets (OG.com) and Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA). HALO correlates order data, wallet activity, social signals, and open-source intelligence to detect manipulation and compliance risks. The move comes as prediction markets face heightened regulatory scrutiny and rising trading volume.
Crypto.com is mirroring the surveillance playbook Kalshi has already run. That matters because institutional traders now treat third-party oversight as a hard filter before committing capital. Solidus Labs' HALO platform gives Crypto.com audit trails and manipulation detection that regulator-facing examiners can read directly. Kalshi's earlier Nasdaq and Solidus Labs deals already proved the model; Crypto.com is simply catching up.
For competitors still running single-vendor or in-house surveillance, the standard rises again. The cost is vendor dependency and operational complexity. The payoff is faster CFTC approvals for new contracts and cleaner state-by-state market access. Whoever lacks equivalent third-party coverage will find doors closed that HALO-equipped rivals walk through.
Crypto.com joins a surveillance infrastructure race already defined by Kalshi's multi-vendor Nasdaq, Solidus Labs, and Comply stack, as CFTC-registered platforms treat third-party oversight as a competitive prerequisite rather than a regulatory checkbox.
