Entertainment Predictions Go Mainstream
Crypto.com is partnering with Hollywood.com to launch a new entertainment prediction market. This innovative platform will allow users to make predictions on various entertainment outcomes, including box office success, award winners, and whether a musical artist will top the charts.
The prediction markets will be offered through Crypto.com | Derivatives North America, an exchange and clearinghouse registered with the CFTC. This structure ensures full federal compliance and robust security for all users participating in the platform.
Prediction Markets Meet Pop Culture
Prediction markets enable users to buy and sell contracts based on the probability of future events occurring. This mechanism is akin to how investors trade stocks based on market expectations. While these platforms have historically focused on politics, sports, or economic indicators, the collaboration between Hollywood.com and Crypto.com introduces this dynamic to the entertainment industry.
Travis McGhee, Managing Director at Crypto.com, highlighted the passion of entertainment fans, stating, "We’re giving them a new, legal prediction market tailored just for them."

Through Hollywood.com’s platform, users can engage in real-time markets linked to Hollywood movies, Broadway shows, television series, video games, and major award ceremonies. The prices of these contracts will fluctuate instantly in response to shifts in public sentiment and industry news, allowing traders to express their views on future events.
Mitchell Rubenstein, Co-CEO of Hollywood.com, described the partnership as a "first-of-its-kind platform" designed to bring fans closer to the stories and stars they admire. He envisions it as a space where users can predict various pop culture outcomes, from Oscar winners to the most popular streaming series.

A new entrant, Opinion, quickly generated $1 billion in volume within its first two weeks. Other platforms, such as Limitless and Myriad, are also experiencing substantial momentum, with cumulative volumes of $500 million and $50 million, respectively.
