Robinhood is routing its event contracts through OG.com's CFTC-regulated infrastructure as part of a prediction markets expansion that includes equity positions in both OG.com and Crypto.com. The arrangement puts the company's balance sheet behind two digital asset platforms while securing a compliant operational home for event contracts.
OG.com carries the jurisdictional weight. Prediction markets structured as event contracts in the U.S. fall under CFTC oversight, and an authorized venue is a prerequisite for a U.S.-facing retail platform. OG.com already holds that authorization. Routing through existing infrastructure, rather than pursuing standalone regulatory approval, compresses the entry timeline for the category.
The equity position in OG.com turns what could have been a routing agreement into a structural one. Robinhood's economics are now tied to the performance of the infrastructure its event contracts run on.
Crypto.com is the second equity position in the deal, placing Robinhood inside the exchange's cap table alongside its OG.com stake.
Prediction markets have drawn rising retail and regulatory attention as a distinct category. Robinhood's expansion into the space, anchored by OG.com's existing CFTC authorization, extends the company's product range without requiring it to build the compliance layer from scratch.
