Crypto.com, Robinhood, Novig, and Underdog Predict featured at Predict 2026 in New York
Crypto.com launched Predict Pro, an event-contract trading interface with order books and sports combo markets. The product debuted alongside appearances by Crypto.com, Robinhood, Novig, and Underdog Predict at the Predict 2026 conference in New York. The event highlighted prediction markets' growing intersection with gaming and brokerage platforms. No terms or timing details were disclosed for the other firms' involvement.
Predict Pro and the joint conference presence signal that Crypto.com is building standalone prediction-market infrastructure rather than settling for a white-label role. Robinhood currently routes its event-contract volume through partners including Crypto.com, but Predict Pro's order books suggest Crypto.com wants direct trader relationships. That threatens the partner-dependent model Robinhood and others rely on.
Crypto.com captures even a thin slice of the $320 million football-season revenue Piper Sandler projected for Robinhood's prediction-market stack, the partner platform becomes a competitor. The CFTC's pending swap-rule proposal adds pressure: any platform without its own federal license or with partner-dependent compliance could face forced restructuring. Crypto.com's move to owned infrastructure looks like a hedge against both partner fragility and regulatory reclassification.
Crypto.com's Predict Pro launch joins Robinhood's partner-dependent prediction-market expansion as the latest platform move in a market where direct CFTC licenses are becoming the safer bet against fracturing federal preemption.
