Trump’s Truth Social Partners With Crypto.com to Launch Prediction Markets

Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, announced a new partnership with Crypto.com’s North American derivatives division on October 28, 2025. The partnership makes Truth Social the first social media platform to offer prediction markets. The feature will launch in a few months, pending regulatory approvals. 

The approach aims to boost community engagement through market-based forecasting. Following the news, DJT shares and CRO tokens rose, signaling a market rally.

Partnership Details and Features 

Truth Social’s partnership with Crypto.com introduces prediction markets to its platform. This will allow users to buy and sell contracts based on upcoming events, such as election results and economic decisions. These contracts will be available on a platform registered with U.S. regulators, ensuring compliance with U.S. laws. 

Users can trade these contracts alongside their social media interactions without needing separate apps. They can also earn “Truth gems” through their activity on Truth Social, which they can convert into Cronos tokens for trading.

Kris Marszalek, the CEO of Crypto.com, said the partnership matches Truth Social’s goal of supporting a community seeking the truth. He maintains that prediction markets could become a valuable industry worth billions.

“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,” he said.

Market Reaction to Partnership  

The announcement positively affected CRO tokens. Data from CoinGecko showed that it rose 2.5% to $0.15. Reactions on social media also showed users’ excitement about real-time trading, although some expressed concerns about potential manipulation in political markets. 

Following the 2024 U.S. elections, platforms like Polymarket reported significant trading activity, underscoring the potential of these markets. With its latest partnership, Truth Social now complies with U.S. regulations, giving it an advantage over some offshore platforms. 

Meanwhile, Truth Social is moving towards digital assets by launching a Bitcoin ETF and a CRO-based rewards system in early 2025. The platform made moves toward launching a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund earlier in June this year, filing with the SEC to list a new Bitcoin ETF on the NYSE Arca.
