DraftKings Inc. announced an agreement with Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (Crypto.com), a global cryptocurrency platform and CFTC-regulated derivatives exchange, to broaden the prediction markets available on DraftKings Predictions. The expansion marks the first player-specific sports event contracts offered on DraftKings Predictions for both the NFL and NBA, extends the platform’s prediction markets offerings, and establishes the foundation for future categories, including politics.
“We’re continuing to build momentum behind DraftKings Predictions by leveraging our expertise across sports and technology and integrating additional CFTC-regulated exchanges like Crypto.com. This collaboration meaningfully expands customer access to trade on sports and a broader range of prediction markets and also reinforces our focus on delivering a more comprehensive and engaging experience as the product continues to evolve,” said Jeanine Hightower-Sellitto, Senior Vice President and General Manager of DraftKings Predictions.
As part of this expansion, DraftKings Predictions adds breadth across sports prediction markets in the states where the product is available, spanning soccer, MMA, golf, boxing, tennis, and the Olympic Games, to complement the existing sports and financial markets provided by CME Group. In addition to the wider scope of sports prediction markets, Crypto.com is expected to support DraftKings Predictions’ introduction of new event contract categories, including culture, entertainment, and politics. Additionally, DraftKings Predictions will integrate Railbird Exchange in the coming months, further strengthening its offering.
“Crypto.com continues to lead the way with innovative collaboration. Connecting with DraftKings, a household name in sports, is an important milestone for us because it allows us to not only expand access to prediction markets in sports, but it grows our distribution to prediction markets on cryptocurrencies, financials, companies, politics, culture, entertainment and beyond. We are thrilled to work with DraftKings, and we look forward to creating an engaging experience together for customers across the country,” said Travis McGhee, Global Head of Predictions at Crypto.com.

NCAA President Charlie Baker has requested the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to pause all college sport offerings in prediction markets until the agency implements appropriate regulations. The NCAA sent a letter to the CFTC calling for a robust system of safeguards and detailed its willingness to work with the regulatory body to assist with developing the necessary guardrails to protect student-athletes and college sports. The critical safeguards requested include age and advertising restrictions, enhanced integrity monitoring, prop market prevention, anti-harassment measures, and harm reduction resources.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board has filed a civil enforcement action in the District Court for Carson City against BLOCKRATIZE INC. d/b/a POLYMARKET; QCX LLC d/b/a POLYMARKET US; and ADVENTURE ONE QSS INC. d/b/a POLYMARKET. In its complaint, the Board asked the court for a declaration and injunction to stop Polymarket from offering unlicensed wagering in violation of Nevada law. Polymarket operates a derivatives exchange and prediction market where it offers event contracts for sale. These products are offered for sale on Polymarket’s mobile app and are made available to people in Nevada. The Board considers offering sports event contracts, or certain other events contracts, to constitute wagering activity under NRS 463.0193 and 463.01962 and, therefore, entities offering such event contracts must be licensed.
