Robinhood in Talks With Crypto.com Over Prediction Markets, WSJ Reports

Robinhood is in talks with Crypto.com about adding contracts from its prediction-markets platform to the Robinhood app — no deal has been reached yet, The Block reports, citing The Wall Street Journal.

• Crypto.com OG — a prediction-markets platform launched in February 2026 through the CFTC-registered Crypto.com Derivatives North America exchange; weekly activity grew roughly 40x in the six months before launch.
• Robinhood users have already traded more than 16 billion event contracts in 2026 — versus over 12 billion for all of 2025.
• Kalshi's FIFA World Cup contracts generated roughly $27 billion in trading volume; Super Bowl contracts, about $1 billion.

“The company intends to continue working with multiple exchanges to give customers access to a broad and resilient marketplace.”

The deal's backdrop is intensifying competition: since the launch of Rothera (a Susquehanna joint venture), the share of Kalshi's trading volume attributable to Robinhood clients has noticeably shrunk, Crowdfund Insider notes. A partnership with Crypto.com would give Robinhood another contract source not tied to a single provider.

For Robinhood, this continues a broader push well beyond brokerage services — earlier this year the company launched its own blockchain and tokenized stocks for 120 countries. Prediction markets are becoming another front where traditional brokerages and crypto exchanges are colliding.
