DraftKings and Crypto.com partner on prediction markets

DraftKings is partnering with Crypto.com to expand its prediction markets offerings in the U.S. through player-specific event contracts.

The deal will give DraftKings Predictions, which launched in December 2025 with CME Group as the first partner, access to event contracts covering both the NFL and the NBA, as well as future opportunities to include political event contracts.

Jeanine Hightower-Sellitto, senior vice president and general manager of DraftKings Predictions, said:

“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.”

Travis McGhee, global head of predictions at Crypto.com, added:

“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 also grows our distribution to prediction markets on cryptocurrencies, financials, companies, politics, culture, entertainment, and beyond.”

DraftKings Prediction also offers event contracts covering soccer, MMA, golf, boxing, tennis, and the Olympic Games in states where the product is available.
