FanDuel Adds Crypto.com Contracts to Predicts Platform
Six months after its CME Group launch, FanDuel Predicts broadens into crypto-native event contracts.
FanDuel has added Crypto.com event contracts to its FanDuel Predicts platform, expanding the prediction markets product it launched roughly six months ago through a joint venture with CME Group.
Why It Matters
Prediction markets are rapidly becoming a competitive battleground among major US gaming operators, and FanDuel's Crypto.com partnership signals that crypto-native contract infrastructure is increasingly central to that fight. For bettors, the addition broadens the range of tradeable contracts beyond sports into other event categories — a meaningful product expansion. Crypto.com gains a high-traffic distribution channel in FanDuel's existing customer base, which spans millions of daily fantasy and sportsbook users. According to SBC Americas, FanDuel joins a growing list of gaming operators now offering Crypto.com contracts, suggesting the arrangement functions more like a platform play than an exclusive deal.
Context
FanDuel launched FanDuel Predicts as of approximately December 2025 via its CME Group joint venture, positioning itself early in the regulated prediction markets space. As of June 2026, the Crypto.com contract layer adds a second infrastructure partner, diversifying the product's underlying architecture. Prediction markets occupy a legally distinct space from traditional sports betting in the US, operating under CFTC oversight rather than state gaming regulators.
What's Next
Watch for FanDuel to expand the contract catalogue further — particularly political and financial event markets — as operators test how far outside sports prediction market engagement holds. Whether regulators push back on the product's rapid expansion across multiple operators remains the key risk to monitor.
