What's happening

Robinhood is expanding its prediction-markets business by partnering with Crypto.com and taking initial minority equity stakes in Crypto.com and OG, Crypto.com's prediction-markets spin-off. Under a multiyear deal, Robinhood will route select football-related event contracts to Crypto.com's prediction markets platform via Crypto.com's CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse, and Crypto.com's prediction contracts will be added to the Robinhood app. The stakes are being priced in line with Citadel Securities' recent investment that valued Crypto.com Group at $20 billion and OG.com at $5 billion, though the size of Robinhood's investments was not disclosed.

Why it's trending

This is rising because Robinhood is making strategic equity moves and product integrations to grow its prediction markets quickly, tying its retail app to Crypto.com's regulated exchange and newly spun-out OG.
