Crypto.com and PYMNTS launch AI prediction market contracts on OG.com
Crypto.com and PYMNTS have launched AI prediction market contracts on OG.com, the companies announced August 31, 2026. The two-year partnership will offer more than 20 regulated event contracts tracking artificial intelligence outcomes, including job trends and adoption metrics. Trading is set to begin in September on the CFTC-regulated platform. The product pairs Crypto.com's exchange infrastructure with PYMNTS's data research arm and OG.com's prediction market technology.
The launch tests whether AI-focused economic questions can draw trading volume beyond political and sports events that dominate prediction markets. Crypto.com, the OG.com partnership offers a faster regulatory path than building a CFTC-regulated stack from scratch, following the same white-label shortcut that High Roller and Markets chose through Crypto.com Derivatives North America.
The structural risk is shared: OG.com's regulatory fate becomes Crypto.com's fate. For PYMNTS, the deal turns research output into tradable instruments, creating a direct revenue line from its AI coverage. The September timeline gives competitors a narrow window to respond before year-end volume figures settle whether AI contracts are a genuine new vertical or merely a marketing wedge.
Crypto.com joins Kalshi and Polymarket as the third CFTC-registered platform to expand prediction-market connectivity through a technology partner integration, after Trading Technologies added OG.com as a second venue.
