The brokerage platform integrates OG.com contracts and takes a stake in the exchange's capital.
AI-generated summary
OG.com launched in February 2026 under regulation by the CFTC. Robinhood began diversifying its event contract providers in 2025.
Rivals of yesterday, forced partners of the day. Robinhood has signed an agreement with Crypto.com to integrate the event contracts of OG.com, the predictive markets division of the exchange, while taking a minority stake in the capital of both entities. A way for the brokerage house to expand its range of predictive markets without having to build another competitor.
OG.com, valued at $5 billion in just six months
According to information from the Wall Street Journal, OG.com started in February 2026 under CFTC registration (the American regulator of futures markets). Its weekly activity has increased approximately 40-fold in six months, according to figures from Crypto.com. Enough to justify an independent valuation of $5 billion, based on Citadel Securities' $400 million investment in Crypto.com Group in July, which valued the parent company at $20 billion. Robinhood is thus joining forces with the fastest growing platform in the sector.
The exact amount of the stake taken by Robinhood has not been communicated. Beyond the commercial partnership, the entry into capital creates an alignment of interests between the two groups, more than a simple supply contract, according to the official press release from Robinhood and OG.com.
Kalshi is no longer alone at the table
Let us understand the situation and its importance. Since March 2025, Kalshi has provided the bulk of event contracts listed on Robinhood. The arrival of Crypto.com dilutes this position of de facto exclusivity, alongside ForecastEx (backed by Interactive Brokers) and Rothera, the joint venture that Robinhood set up with Susquehanna International Group in 2025. Four suppliers for the same showcase: Robinhood now chooses its partners Ă la carte rather than depending on just one.
The bet is big. In 2026 alone, more than 16 billion event contracts have already been traded on Robinhood, more than in all of 2025, with more than a million active users in this segment. Bernstein anticipates that revenues from predictive markets could reach $1.7 billion per year by 2028, and exceed those generated by cryptocurrency trading by the second quarter of 2026, in a sector where Crypto.com is already competing with Coinbase for first place on dollar exchanges.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong still sees Bitcoin at $400,000 by 2030 as reasonable, despite a second-quarter net loss of $359.5 million and a 14% reduction in headcount. It is banking on the end of the bear cycle and the next halving in 2028 to revive the market, while Coinbase is developing tokenized shares and perpetual contracts pending regulatory clarification via the Clarity Act.

The US Treasury, led by Scott Bessent, is increasing its long-term bond purchases to $6 billion per operation to support liquidity. Despite these efforts, 10-year rates continue to rise, reaching 4.85%.

In August, the American producer price index (PPI) increased by 5.4% year-on-year, driven by a 4.2% increase in energy prices. This acceleration is leading to tension on bond yields and risk aversion in the stock and crypto markets.

The European Central Bank increased its key rates by 25 basis points this Thursday, September 10, bringing the deposit rate to 2.50%. This decision, announced in Berlin, responds to persistent inflation fueled by energy prices.

Bitcoin has gained 22% since August 17, but shares of major listed miners are stagnating with a median return of 1.8%. This drop is explained by the massive sale of their BTC reserves to finance AI and HPC infrastructures.

The Kraken platform launches its âKraken Cardâ debit card on July 13, 2026, allowing users in the UK and EEA to directly spend their cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies via the Mastercard network.
