Robinhood has entered into a strategic partnership with Crypto.com and OG.com that will expand the venues used to route prediction-market contracts, beginning with football event contracts.
Starting September 8, Robinhood began routing a selection of football contracts to the CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse associated with Crypto.com. The platform operates in the Crypto.com app as Crypto.com | Derivatives North America and through the separate trader-focused OG.com platform.
As part of the agreement, Robinhood Markets will receive equity stakes in Crypto.com and OG.com following OG.com’s spinoff as an independent trading platform. The equity will be priced in line with Citadel Securities’ recent investment in Crypto.com Group at a $20 billion valuation.
The partnership comes amid rapid growth for Robinhood’s prediction-market business. During the second quarter alone, 13.6 billion event contracts traded through Robinhood, while more than 5 billion contracts traded during the World Cup.
Since Robinhood launched prediction markets roughly two years ago, customers have traded more than 45 billion contracts, including more than 30 billion during the first eight months of 2026.
Robinhood will continue routing event contracts to other venues including Kalshi, ForecastEX, and Rothera. Rothera is a CFTC-licensed exchange and clearinghouse independently managed through Robinhood’s joint venture with Susquehanna International Group.
The company is also expanding its football prediction-market experience. Customers will have access to contracts involving game outcomes, individual players, custom combinations, and other events. College and professional football contracts will be routed among OG.com, Kalshi, and Rothera based on factors including contract availability.
Separately, Robinhood is rolling out an expanded U.S. midterm-election prediction-market hub with state and federal markets, interactive heat maps, and near-real-time voting information planned for later this fall. Midterm contracts currently route through Kalshi and Rothera, with potential expansion to Crypto.com and OG.com.
KEY QUOTES:
