Trump Media Stock (DJT) Rises as Truth Social Partners with Crypto.com to Launch Prediction Markets

Trump Media’s deal with Crypto.com makes Truth Social the first social network to integrate regulated prediction markets. It will allow users to wager on politics, economics, and sports through the app.

Trump Media & Technology Group is bringing a new kind of speculation to social media. The company behind former President Donald Trump’s Truth Social (DJT) platform said Tuesday it will integrate federally compliant prediction markets directly into the app through a deal with Crypto.com’s U.S. derivatives arm.

DJT stock rose 4.4% in premarket trading following the announcement. Crypto.com’s native token, CRO (CRO-USD), also gained 4.9% over the past 24 hours.

Trump Media Creates “Truth Predict” to Turn Opinions into Bets

The new feature, Truth Predict, will let users wager on real-world events such as U.S. elections, Federal Reserve policy decisions, sports outcomes, and even commodity prices. Bets will be placed through Crypto.com’s CFTC-registered derivatives exchange, ensuring regulatory compliance in the U.S.

If fully launched, Truth Social would become the first social platform to host native prediction markets, merging political commentary with financial speculation. The move broadens Trump Media’s reach beyond social networking into fintech and crypto-based wagering.

“Free Speech Into Actionable Foresight,” Says Trump Media CEO

Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes said the new product is designed to empower users to back their opinions with real stakes. “We want to give users tools that turn free speech into actionable foresight,” Nunes said in a statement.

The company, which recently reported its first quarter of positive cash flow and disclosed over $3 billion in financial assets, sees Truth Predict as a core part of its next growth phase.

A beta launch of the feature is expected soon. Users will earn in-app token rewards, or “Truth Gems,” for engagement across Truth Social and its streaming service, Truth+. These rewards can be converted into Crypto.com’s CRO token to enter prediction contracts on upcoming events.

Crypto.com Expands Reach in Regulated Prediction Markets

Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek said the partnership combines “social engagement and financial forecasting” to reach new audiences who might not otherwise participate in derivatives markets.

Truth Predict will launch first in the U.S., with plans to expand globally pending additional approvals. Trump Media also hinted at broader digital asset ambitions, including a potential CRO-linked treasury product tied to its pending SPAC merger with Yorkville Acquisition Corp (MCGA).

Truth Predict to Compete with Polymarket and Kalshi

By entering the prediction market space, Trump Media will now compete with platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi, both of which have attracted major investment and regulatory attention this year.

Analysts say the combination of Truth Social’s user base and Crypto.com’s exchange infrastructure could give the new product an early advantage.

“It’s the first time a mass-market social platform and a regulated crypto exchange have joined forces around real-money forecasting,” one market observer noted.

If successful, Truth Predict could transform Truth Social from a niche political network into a broader hub for financial engagement and market-based debate.
