Who could have predicted this?
Trump Media and Technology Group Corp., the operator of President Donald Trump's social media platform Truth Social, announced Wednesday that it will make prediction markets available on Truth Social through an exclusive arrangement with Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA), a CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse.
Once implemented, Truth Social will be the first social media platform to offer its users technology to access embedded prediction markets capabilities through CDNA.

“We are thrilled to become the world’s first publicly traded social media platform to offer our users access to prediction markets,” said Devin Nunes, Chairman and CEO of Trump Media, in a news release. “Truth Predict will allow our loyal users to engage in prediction markets with a trusted network while harnessing our social media platform to provide totally unique ways for users to discuss and compare their predictions.
With more than $3 billion in financial assets as of the end of the second quarter and having posted our first quarter of positive operating cash flow after going public just last year, Trump Media is well-positioned to leverage our strong balance sheet and existing social media capabilities to create a new standard for access to prediction market platforms.
For too long, global elites have closely controlled these markets - with Truth Predict, we’re democratizing information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight.”
Beta testing will be live on Truth Social in the future, followed by a full launch in the United States.
As with other prediction markets, Truth Social users will be able to trade prediction contracts related to major events and milestones, such as political elections, interest and inflation rate changes, commodity prices on gold and crude oil, events across all major sports leagues, and more using the new product technology called “Truth Predict.”
“Prediction markets are poised to be a multi-deca-billion-dollar industry,” said Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com.
“Crypto.com has quickly become one of the most trusted providers of prediction market services, and we’re thrilled to combine with Truth Social to support the world’s first prediction markets available from a social media platform. This aligns perfectly with what users look for in social media - a community to engage with and seek truth. Truth Predict will provide customers with a powerful tool related to market sentiment on an unlimited number of events. We are thrilled to integrate Truth Social’s truly pioneering social media platform and technology with our industry-leading technology and regulated prediction market trading.”
Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of the President, has been heavily involved with prediction market companies this year, serving as a strategic advisor to Kalshi since January and also an advisory board member for Polymarket, joining in August via his venture firm 1789 Capital's investment.
The 49-year-old is also a director of Trump Media, so his involvement with three prediction companies could be seen as a conflict of interest, but no announcements have been made regarding his status among the three companies.
