Trump Media, Crypto.com Partner to Launch Prediction Markets on Truth Social
Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT), the parent company of Truth Social, announced plans to introduce Truth Predict, a built-in prediction market developed in partnership with Crypto.com’s U.S.-regulated derivatives arm.
The feature will allow Truth Social users to wager on outcomes of major events — including U.S. elections, Federal Reserve rate decisions, sports, and commodities — via Crypto.com’s Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)-registered exchange.
If fully rolled out, Truth Social would become the first social platform to host native, regulated prediction markets, bridging social interaction and financial speculation.
Trump Media shares climbed 4.4% in premarket trading, while Crypto.com’s CRO token rose 4.9% following the announcement.
“Truth Predict turns free speech into actionable foresight,” said Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes, adding that the move expands the platform’s ecosystem beyond social media and streaming. The company recently reported over $3 billion in assets and its first profitable quarter since going public.
Beta testing will begin soon, featuring “Truth Gems”, loyalty rewards that users can earn through engagement and convert into CRO tokens for prediction contracts.
Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek said the collaboration brings prediction markets to a mainstream audience by combining “social interaction with market-driven insight.”
The product will debut in the U.S., with plans for international expansion pending regulatory approval. Trump Media also hinted at broader digital asset initiatives, including a CRO-based treasury program tied to its pending merger with Yorkville Acquisition Corp.
The move positions Trump Media to compete with established prediction platforms such as Polymarket and Kalshi, both of which have attracted significant institutional capital this year.
