BlockchainReporter states Robinhood began routing football event contracts to OG.com and secured equity stakes in Crypto.com and OG.com.
According to BlockchainReporter, Robinhood announced on September 8 that it started routing a selection of college and professional football event contracts to OG.com, which is Crypto.com's U.S. derivatives exchange and clearinghouse brand. The agreement adds another regulated venue to Robinhood's prediction-markets business as the professional football season begins, alongside existing routing partners Kalshi, ForecastEx, and Rothera. Under the partnership, Robinhood Markets will receive equity stakes in Crypto.com and OG.com after OG.com is spun off as an independent trading platform. Robinhood stated that the equity will be priced in line with Citadel Securities' recent investment in Crypto.com Group at a $20 billion valuation, though the specific size of the stakes and the timing of the separation were not disclosed. Crypto.com founder and CEO Kris Marszalek described the agreement as a strategic partnership, noting plans for OG.com to expand into futures and perpetuals. Additionally, BlockchainReporter noted that Robinhood users have traded over 45 billion event contracts since the company entered the prediction markets sector, including more than 30 billion through the end of August 2026.
