Crypto.com, MyPrize to Launch ‘MyPrize Markets’ Blending Social Gaming and Prediction Markets

The tie-up advances Crypto.com’s strategy of scaling prediction markets through consumer platforms backed by its recent U.S. regulatory filings.

Overview

  • MyPrize Markets will combine livestreamed social gaming with tradable contracts on outcomes spanning sports, events and crypto, a product the companies describe as first-of-its-kind.
  • Crypto.com announced the partnership on Nov. 4 and said MyPrize becomes the first social gaming business to offer prediction markets, highlighting a unified user experience.
  • MyPrize CEO Zach Bruch said the company chose Crypto.com for its infrastructure and plans to offer the new markets to users in the U.S. and abroad.
  • MyPrize says it has surpassed one million users, closed a $21 million funding round in July at a $250 million valuation cap, and reached first-year profitability.
  • Crypto.com is pursuing similar rollouts through partnerships with Hollywood.com, Underdog and Truth Social, with Trump Media saying a Truth Predict beta is expected in the coming weeks before any wider U.S. release.
