Crypto.com Launches US Prediction Market as States Step Up Enforcement
Crypto.com rolled out a standalone OG prediction-market platform in the United States this week, entering a segment that has drawn increasing regulatory scrutiny. The launch arrives as multiple states ramp up enforcement actions against other prediction-market operators, creating a tense backdrop for new market entrants. The move matters because legal pressure on competitors could reshape where and how these platforms operate, and may favor firms that can demonstrate stronger compliance controls or clearer geographic limitations. For users and industry observers, Crypto.com’s timing signals confidence in product diversification but also underscores the unresolved regulatory questions that will influence competition and user access in the months ahead.
