Robinhood Selects OG.com as Infrastructure Partner for Prediction Markets Platform, Holding Equity Stake in Exchange Engine

Partnership Leverages OG.com’s CFTC-regulated Platform Following $5 Billion Spin-off from Crypto.com

Robinhood Markets, Inc. and prediction market platform OG.com announced a landmark multi-year partnership designating OG.com as an infrastructure and clearing provider for Robinhood’s Prediction Markets offering.

Under the agreement, Robinhood will route retail event contract volume through OG.com’s underlying Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulated derivatives exchange and clearinghouse architecture. Prediction Markets on Robinhood are offered by Robinhood Derivatives, LLC, a registered futures commission merchant with the CFTC and Member of National Futures Association (NFA). This agreement will represent OG.com’s largest B2B prediction markets partnership in terms of transaction volumes.

The partnership follows Citadel Securities investment into Crypto.com at a $20 billion valuation, which includes a standalone $5 billion valuation of OG.com through its strategic spin-off from Crypto.com. By separating from the core digital asset exchange infrastructure, OG.com operates as an independent company with dedicated capital allocation focused exclusively on scaling its direct consumer experience and deepening its institutional-grade, CFTC-regulated framework across sports, financials, and economic contract markets and margined derivatives.

As part of the deal, Robinhood will hold initial equity stakes in Crypto.com and OG.com following the latter’s spin-off as an independent trading platform and the equity will be priced in line with the recent investment of Citadel Securities into the Crypto.com Group at a $20 billion valuation.

By routing contracts to OG.com Robinhood is expanding its existing prediction markets offering, making it an even higher-capacity engine capable of handling institutional-grade liquidity, instant clearing, and a more dynamic event catalog expansion across macroeconomic indicators, global sports, elections, and cultural milestones. The rollout of OG.com-backed event contracts on the Robinhood app will begin in phases to eligible U.S. customers starting on September 8, 2026.

“This is the beginning of a strategic partnership between both companies,” said Kris Marszalek, Founder and CEO of Crypto.com and OG.com. “We’re looking forward to making OG.com the most liquid venue globally for innovative derivative instruments, starting with prediction markets and quickly expanding into futures and perpetuals.”

“Teaming up with Crypto.com and OG.com strengthens our position as a leader in the prediction markets space and gives us even more skin in the game,” said JB Mackenzie, VP and GM of Futures and Prediction Markets at Robinhood. “Prediction markets are becoming an increasingly meaningful way for investors to engage with the events they care about, and this deal helps us meet our growing customer demand.”

This multi-year partnership accelerates the evolution of modern market infrastructure by directly aligning retail accessibility with institutional-grade derivatives execution. OG.com’s operational separation into a standalone entity creates the dedicated agility, specialized capital allocation, and regulatory clarity required to power high-frequency prediction markets. Simultaneously, Robinhood’s integration and direct equity stake position both companies to capture the surging global demand for CFTC-regulated event contract trading and other innovative products.

By partnering with OG.com, Robinhood is further improving its execution layer with an established exchange infrastructure offering deep liquidity, ensuring strict federal compliance under CFTC oversight while supporting Crypto.com and OG.com’s broader vision to establish two category-defining financial powerhouses in digital assets and regulated derivatives.
