US President Donald Trump's media company is expanding into predictive markets through a new collaboration with Crypto.com. The announcement, made Tuesday, introduces Truth Predict, a new feature built into Truth Social that allows users to bet on real events, from elections to sports scores.
In brief
- Trump Media partners with Crypto.com to launch Truth Predict, merging social media with decentralized prediction markets.
- Truth Predict allows users to trade event-based contracts and predict outcomes in politics, sports and finance.
- The platform emphasizes transparency, blockchain-backed pricing, and user-driven discussions on Truth Social.
- Beta testing begins in the United States, with plans for global expansion once regulatory approvals are obtained.
Trump Media Launch of Truth Predict as Crypto.com Faces Regulatory Pressure in the US
Truth Predict will be integrated directly into Truth Social, the platform where Trump frequently communicates with his audience. According to a Reuters report, the service aims to “democratize information” and provide users with an open space to test their predictions.
Trump Media explained that it intends to set “a new standard of access” to prediction markets, with an emphasis on transparency and user participation.
Crypto.com's participation comes amid continued legal pressure. Earlier this month, a Nevada judge rejected his request to block state gaming regulations. Many in the crypto community saw the move as a setback for the exchange's broader plans in the United States.
The partnership with Trump Media underscores the company's commitment to remaining active in the predictive markets space despite regulatory challenges.
Devin Nunes, president and CEO of Trump Media, said the new platform aims to opening predictive markets to a wider audienceby removing control from large institutions. He adds that ordinary users will be able to express their opinions through market-based forecasts.
For too long, global elites have tightly controlled these markets. With Truth Predict, we are democratizing information and giving everyday Americans the power to harness collective wisdom, turning free speech into actionable predictions.

TMTG's growing financial position supports its expansion efforts. The company reported more than $3 billion in assets at the end of the second quarter and achieved positive operating cash flow for the first time since going public last year.
New platform marks Trump Media's entry into decentralized finance
Management indicated that Truth Predict will combine this financial base with its existing user base to create a dynamic trading environment for individual investors. Truth Predict will work similarly to other event-based contracting platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket. Users will be able to trade contracts based on the results of public events.
As part of its design, the project will focus on:
- Encourage participation through Truth Social's integrated network.
- Maintain transparent contract pricing supported by blockchain data.
- Offering events in the fields of politics, finance and entertainment.
- Provide real-time chat feeds to compare forecasts.
- Roll out gradually, starting with the beta phase in the United States.
The beta phase is expected to begin soon, followed by a full domestic launch and then global expansion. Trump Media has confirmed plans to make Truth Predict available internationally once regulatory approvals are obtained.
Predictive markets have received renewed attention, particularly after Polymarket attracted global interest during the last US presidential election. With Truth Predict, Trump Media and Crypto.com aim to capture a share of this fast-growing space, combining political engagement and speculative finance.
