Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD) and prediction market platform OG.com have announced a multi-year partnership under which OG.com will act as an infrastructure and clearing provider for Robinhood's Prediction Markets offering.
Under the agreement, Robinhood will route retail event contract volume through OG.com's underlying Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulated derivatives exchange and clearing house architecture. Prediction Markets on Robinhood are offered by Robinhood Derivatives, LLC, a registered futures commission merchant with the CFTC and a member of the National Futures Association (NFA).
The agreement is OG.com's largest B2B prediction markets partnership in terms of transaction volumes.
The partnership follows Citadel Securities' investment into Crypto.com at a $20 billion valuation, which includes a standalone $5 billion valuation of OG.com through its strategic spin-off from Crypto.com. Following the separation from Crypto.com's core digital asset exchange infrastructure, OG.com operates as an independent company with dedicated capital allocation focused on its direct consumer experience and its CFTC-regulated framework across sports, financials, economic contract markets and margined derivatives.
As part of the deal, Robinhood will hold initial equity stakes in Crypto.com and OG.com following the latter's spin-off as an independent trading platform. The equity will be priced in line with Citadel Securities' recent investment in the Crypto.com Group at a $20 billion valuation.
Routing contracts to OG.com expands Robinhood's existing prediction markets offering. The arrangement is intended to support institutional-grade liquidity and clearing, alongside an expanded event catalogue across macroeconomic indicators, global sports, elections and cultural milestones. The rollout of OG.com-backed event contracts on the Robinhood app will begin in phases to eligible US customers starting on 8 September 2026.

Kris Marszalek, Founder and CEO, Crypto.com and OG.com commented:
"This is the beginning of a strategic partnership between both companies. We're looking forward to making OG.com the most liquid venue globally for innovative derivative instruments, starting with prediction markets and quickly expanding into futures and perpetuals."
JB Mackenzie, VP and GM of Futures and Prediction Markets, Robinhood said:
"Teaming up with Crypto.com and OG.com strengthens our position as a leader in the prediction markets space and gives us even more skin in the game. Prediction markets are becoming an increasingly meaningful way for investors to engage with the events they care about, and this deal helps us meet our growing customer demand."
