What Are Crypto.com Event Contracts?

The Exchange Behind the Product

Crypto.com Derivatives North America runs the Crypto.com prediction markets. This company is part of Crypto.com and is managed internally. It used to be called the North American Derivatives Exchange, or Nadex, which you can confirm in CFTC records. 

Crypto.com launched event contracts through this division in late 2024. In February 2026, they introduced a separate app called OG, which offers the same product.

Event Contracts or Prediction Markets?

Crypto.com refers to these as event contracts. However, most people look for terms like “Crypto.com prediction markets” or “event contracts prediction markets”. No matter which term you use, they all describe the same product.

Not the Crypto.com Exchange

This page covers event contracts only. Crypto.com's crypto exchange, card, and token are separate products with separate fees that don't apply here.

Are Crypto.com Event Contracts Legal in the US?

The CFTC Designation

Crypto.com Derivatives North America is registered with the CFTC as both an exchange and a clearinghouse. It lists contracts and settles them under the same roof. Those registrations carry over from when the company was called Nadex. 

Both can be verified directly on the CFTC's own register. 

It's worth noting that on April 2, 2012, the CFTC banned Nadex from offering political event derivatives contracts, a rule from an earlier period.

Is This Sports Betting?

Many people search for Crypto.com sports betting, but that product does not exist. Instead, these are federally regulated event contracts traded on an exchange. There is no bookmaker setting odds and no state sportsbook license, even though Crypto.com sports contracts involve the same games you might find at a sportsbook.

Where You Can Trade Them

These contracts are available nationwide because they are federally regulated, and there is no need for a state-by-state legality table. You can find the current regulatory status for all prediction markets on our regulatory tracker.

What You Can Trade

The Categories Covered

Crypto.com sports event contracts lead the category lineup, alongside:

• Economics
• Politics
• Crypto and digital assets
• Culture and entertainment.

Sports covers the widest range of individual contracts on this entity.

How a Contract Works

You buy a Yes or No contract priced in cents, and that price is the market's implied probability. Each contract settles at one dollar if the event resolves in your favor, or nothing if it doesn't. Positions are fully collateralized, with no margin and no leverage, and a position can be closed before the event resolves.

Volume and Liquidity

Crypto.com's trading volume is not reported separately by DefiLlama or The Block, unlike Kalshi and Polymarket. Because of this, there is no specific number to share for Crypto.com. For context, global prediction market volume reached $113.8 billion in the second quarter of 2026.

Fees and How Contracts Settle

Fees Per Contract

Crypto.com doesn't publish a single fee formula for event contracts. Pricing is set per market and carried largely in the bid-ask spread, closer to how a sportsbook prices a line than to the transparent formula Kalshi and Polymarket publish. Check the specific market before trading; that's the only reliable way to know the actual cost.

How a Market Settles

Each contract lists its settlement source in the exchange rulebook and is self-certified to the CFTC under Regulation 40.2 before it becomes available. Sports contracts settle based on the official result, while economic contracts use the relevant government data.

Position Limits

Position limits are set per contract in the rulebook. No account-wide retail cap is published for the platform as a whole.

Funding and Withdrawing

You fund Crypto.com event contracts using your existing Crypto.com account balance. There is no need for a separate wallet. You can add fiat funds with: 

1. ACH bank transfer 
2. Wire transfer
3. Crypto and stablecoin funding works through the wider Crypto.com app. 

Withdrawals use the same methods. If you usually use the crypto side of the app, you can still use both funding options.

Trading on Mobile and Desktop

Where the Feature Sits in the App

You can find event contracts as a section in the main Crypto.com app on both iOS and Android. There is also a separate app with the same product if you prefer to keep it apart from your main Crypto.com account.

When you trade event contracts, you risk the full amount you put in, and a contract may settle at zero. This information is not financial advice. Availability and terms may change.
