Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) is expanding its social empire and entering the prediction market, an industry with a volume of more than $20 billion, through a new partnership.
The media platform will integrate prediction markets directly into Truth Social through an exclusive partnership with Crypto.com Derivatives North America (CDNA), a CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse.
Trump Media Gets Into Prediction Markets
The new “Truth Predict” feature will allow Truth Social users to trade contracts based on real-life events, ranging from US elections and Federal Reserve decisions to gold prices and sports results.
This effectively turns social conversations into tradable predictions. The move would make the platform the first social network to offer built-in access to federally regulated event contracts.
“Truth Predict will allow our loyal users to participate in the prediction market with a trusted network while leveraging our social media platform to provide unique ways for users to discuss and compare their predictions,” said Devin Nunes, President and CEO of Trump Media, in a statement.
Prediction markets, where users buy and sell contracts tied to event outcomes, exploded by 2025 , with combined volumes exceeding $20 billion on major platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi .
Polymarket dominates the cryptocurrency space , while Kalshi leads the regulated U.S. market. Truth Social’s involvement marks a combined approach to leverage regulatory compliance through CDNA and Crypto.com ’s cryptocurrency infrastructure to reach a politically engaged retail investor base.
According to the announcement, Truth Predict will soon begin beta testing in the US before expanding globally.
Users who earn “Truth Gems ” by participating on Truth Social and the Truth+ streaming platform will be able to convert them into Crypto.com ’s Cronos (CRO ) Token and use them to purchase prediction contracts, effectively introducing a gaming economy for trading on the platform.
Kris Marszalek, CEO of Crypto.com, called the integration an important step towards widespread adoption of event-based markets.
“Prediction markets are poised to become a multi-billion dollar industry. Combining regulated trading with social engagement makes Truth Predict a powerful tool for market sentiment,” Marszalek said in the announcement.
For Trump Media, the move deepens its transformation from a conservative social network into a fintech ecosystem that includes streaming, payments and, soon, speculative trading.
The company claims to have more than $3 billion in financial assets and recently announced its first cash-flow-positive quarter since going public.
This partnership could thus combine political discussion with market speculation, a powerful combination ahead of the 2026 midterm elections .
If successful, Truth Predict could redefine how retail investors engage in politics, creating a new kind of prediction-based social finance where free speech meets financial bets.
In short, Trump's latest move is not just about the market, but also about making money from trust.
