Social media platform Truth Social, backed by US President Donald Trump, is ushering in prediction markets functionality in a partnership with CFTC-registered cryptocurrency exchange and clearinghouse Crypto.com.
Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, Truth+, and Truth.Fi, has announced a new partnership with Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA) to introduce Truth Predict, a feature that will embed prediction markets directly into the Truth Social platform. The collaboration positions Truth Social as the first social media platform to offer users access to event-based trading within a federally compliant framework.
Crypto prediction markets are decentralised platforms where participants can trade on any forecasts for the future which the community finds relevant using cryptocurrency. These markets allow users to create, buy, and sell shares in the outcome of a specific event. The price of such shares changes along with the perceived likelihood of the event happening.
Through CDNA’s CFTC-regulated infrastructure, Truth Predict will enable users to forecast outcomes on a wide range of topics, including political elections, central bank decisions, commodity prices, and major sporting events, with real-time updates reflecting current market sentiment. The initiative blends social engagement and financial participation, aiming to bridge the gap between online discussion and actionable market insight.
Trump Media stated that the new feature is part of its broader strategy to expand into fintech and digital trading services, supported by a strong balance sheet exceeding $3 billion in financial assets and a recent quarter of positive operating cash flow. The company emphasized that Truth Predict aligns with its mission to democratize access to market-based forecasting tools, turning user-generated dialogue into real-time market intelligence. Besides, the move reflects wider engagement of US President family in the crypto sector.
Crypto.com, through its CDNA unit, will provide the underlying technology and regulatory infrastructure for the new service. The company noted that the collaboration combines the strengths of social media interaction with the efficiency and transparency of regulated prediction markets, opening a new frontier for digital engagement.
Beta testing of Truth Predict will begin shortly within the United States, followed by a full domestic rollout and subsequent global expansion once regulatory requirements are met. In addition, Truth Social and Truth+ users will have the ability to convert platform rewards (“Truth gems”) into Cronos (CRO) tokens to participate in prediction contracts.
The initiative builds on an expanding partnership between Trump Media and Crypto.com, which recently announced a joint CRO rewards system and plans to establish Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, Inc., a digital asset treasury venture focused on the acquisition and management of CRO. Together, these moves underscore Trump Media’s ambition to merge social media, financial technology, and digital asset innovation into a unified ecosystem for user engagement.
