Crypto.com offers prediction markets through Crypto.com | Derivatives North America, a CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse. That means its event contracts are treated as federally regulated products rather than state-licensed sportsbook wagers.
Users on Crypto.com can trade contracts tied to sports and other real-world events, including politics, the economy, and climate markets. Prices change as traders buy and sell contracts based on where they think the outcome is headed.
Several states have argued that Crypto.com’s sports event contracts cross the line into unlicensed sports betting.
Because of ongoing legal pressure, Crypto.com is unavailable in New York. It also does not offer sports contracts in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, and Ohio.
Here’s a closer look at where those challenges have come up.
- Arizona: Arizona regulators moved against Crypto.com’s sports event contracts in 2025, and the product was later removed from the state.
- Connecticut: Connecticut regulators issued a cease-and-desist against Crypto.com in December 2025 and argued that the company’s sports event contracts amounted to unlicensed sports wagering.
- Maryland: Maryland sent Crypto.com a cease-and-desist in April 2025 and ordered the company to stop offering sports-related event contracts in the state unless authorized under Maryland law.
- Nevada: Nevada took action against Crypto.com over sports and election event contracts and argued that the products could not be offered without a Nevada gaming license. Crypto.com later stopped offering sports event contracts in the state.
- Wisconsin: Wisconsin sued Crypto.com in April 2026, along with several other prediction market operators, arguing that sports event contracts qualify as illegal sports betting under state law.
I’ve put together a separate guide on why CFTC-regulated platforms like Kalshi are not considered gambling products. Crypto.com follows the same operating model, so many of the same points carry over.
