Trump Media Scales Back Plans for Its Own Prediction Market
"Last year, the Trump Media and Technology Group announced Truth Predict, a partnership with the cryptocurrency company Crypto.com. The initial announcement touted Truth Predict as a "new product" that would allow Truth Social users to make trades on sports, inflation, elections, and more through an "embedded" prediction market service. "For too long, global elites have closely controlled these markets-with Truth Predict, we're democratizing information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight," then-CEO Devin Nunes said in the October 2025 press release."
"At the time, the company detailed how Truth Social users would be able to convert the platform's existing "Truth gem" currency into Cronos cryptocurrency tokens, and then "apply" them to Truth Predict trades. Now, Trump Media is framing the project differently. In its latest public filing, the company indicated that the prediction market "remains in development," but that its offering would be initially limited to a "marketing and promotion collaboration" with OG.com, the US-based prediction market platform that Crypto.com launched in February 2026."
"What is a "marketing and promotion collaboration," exactly? Hard to say, as neither Trump Media nor Crypto.com responded to questions about what the agreement entails. "We're encouraged by the progress we've made developing Truth Predict in partnership with CDNA and look forward to bringing this exciting feature to Truth Social's users," Trump Media spokesperson Shannon Devine told WIRED via email. ("CDNA" refers to Crypto.com's affiliated US-regulated derivatives exchange and clearinghouse, which is called Crypto.com | Derivatives North America."
Truth Predict was announced as a new embedded prediction market product for Truth Social users, covering sports, inflation, elections, and more. Users were expected to convert Truth gem currency into Cronos tokens and apply them to trades. Recent filings indicate the prediction market is still in development. The initial offering is described as a marketing and promotion collaboration with OG.com, a US-based prediction market platform launched in February 2026 by Crypto.com. The specific meaning of the collaboration is unclear because neither Trump Media nor Crypto.com provided details. A spokesperson said progress has been made developing Truth Predict in partnership with CDNA and that the feature will be brought to Truth Social users.
