The spinout follows explosive growth, with Crypto.com reporting a 40-fold increase in prediction market activity every week over the past six months.

Crypto.com has spun out its prediction markets business into a standalone platform called OG, marking a fresh push into one of the fastest-growing corners of digital finance and putting it in direct competition with Polymarket and Kalshi.

The company said the platform is currently available only to users in the United States, underscoring its focus on operating within the country’s regulated market structure.

Crypto.com Spins Out OG After Surge in Prediction Market Activity

The decision to launch OG as a separate platform follows rapid growth in Crypto.com’s prediction market offerings.

The firm first entered the space in 2024 and rolled out a “sports event trading” product for US users in December of that year. According to co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek, activity has surged since then.

“We’ve experienced 40x weekly growth in our prediction market business over the last six months,” Marszalek said, adding that the pace justified a dedicated platform rather than keeping the product bundled within Crypto.com’s broader ecosystem.

Combined volumes on Polymarket and Kalshi alone reached $37 billion last year, as Wall Street and crypto firms alike explore new uses for event contracts beyond online betting.

State Opposition to Prediction Markets Builds Over Consumer Concerns

State opposition to prediction markets has been building for months.

As reported, a new legislation to limit the interactions between government officials and the prediction markets is being supported by more than 30 Democrats in the US House of Representatives, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The bill proposed by the New York Representative Ritchie Torres is the Public Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026.
