“We’re continuing to build momentum behind DraftKings Predictions by leveraging our expertise across sports and technology and integrating additional CFTC-regulated exchanges like Crypto.com,” said Jeanine Hightower-Sellitto, Senior Vice President and General Manager of DraftKings Predictions.
“This collaboration meaningfully expands customer access to trade on sports and a broader range of prediction markets and also reinforces our focus on delivering a more comprehensive and engaging experience as the product continues to evolve.”
DraftKings connects another exchange: Crypto.com
Also as part of this expansion, DraftKings Predictions says it adds breadth across sports prediction markets in the states where the product is available, including soccer, MMA, golf, boxing, tennis, and the Olympic Games. These are in addition to the existing sports and financial markets provided by CME Group.
When the platform first launched, back in mid-December 2025, the company explained how it had planned to connect to multiple exchanges, but they began with the CME Group at launch. Now, it appears these plans are coming to fruition as the company integrates another.
“Crypto.com continues to lead the way with innovative collaboration. Connecting with DraftKings, a household name in sports, is an important milestone for us because it allows us to not only expand access to prediction markets in sports, but it grows our distribution to prediction markets on cryptocurrencies, financials, companies, politics, culture, entertainment and beyond,” said Travis McGhee, Global Head of Predictions at Crypto.com.
“We are thrilled to work with DraftKings, and we look forward to creating an engaging experience together for customers across the country.”
