Robinhood adds Crypto.com and OG.com to its prediction markets ahead of NFL season
Robinhood partners with Crypto.com and OG.com for prediction markets
Robinhood announced a new partnership with Crypto.com and OG.com to expand its prediction‑market offering. The deal will start with football contracts as the 2026 NFL season begins on Wednesday night.
Key facts
- Robinhood will take equity stakes in Crypto.com and OG.com, priced using Crypto.com’s recent $20 billion valuation after a Citadel Securities investment.
- 13.6 billion event contracts were traded on Robinhood in the second quarter, generating about $156 million in revenue – a 50 % increase from the previous quarter.
- The new arrangement adds routing of contracts to OG.com while keeping existing routes to Kalshi, ForecastEX and Rothera.
- Robinhood will also launch an election hub with interactive heat maps for upcoming U.S. midterm elections.
Details from Robinhood’s announcement
The company said the partnership will create a “stronger, more diverse and resilient marketplace.” JB Mackenzie, vice president and general manager of Futures and Prediction Markets at Robinhood, added that the timing aligns with the return of football and the approach of the midterm elections.
Earlier reporting
The Wall Street Journal first reported that Robinhood was in talks with Crypto.com about adding prediction‑market contracts in July.
Confirmed data
Robinhood’s own figures show 13.6 billion event contracts were traded in Q2, including 5 billion during the World Cup, and that the business earned roughly $156 million in revenue. This quarter marked the first time the prediction‑market segment earned more than the company’s crypto trading business.
Why it matters
Adding Crypto.com and OG.com expands the range of contracts available to users, especially as the NFL season and U.S. midterm elections generate public interest. The equity stakes tie Robinhood’s success to the growth of its partners.
What’s next
Robinhood will roll out the election hub with live heat maps and continue routing contracts to multiple venues throughout the football season. The partnership may be extended to other sports and event types later in the year.
