High Roller Strikes Crypto.com Deal to Offer CFTC-Regulated Prediction Markets in U.S.

The CFTC-based setup gives High Roller a regulated path into event contracts during a volatile market reaction.

Overview

  • An agreement announced Tuesday between High Roller and Crypto.com | Derivatives North America will route federally regulated event contracts to U.S. customers through High Roller’s platform.
  • CDNA is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as an exchange and clearinghouse, while High Roller plans to operate as a CFTC-registered introducing broker and link to Crypto.com’s registered futures commission merchant.
  • High Roller shares more than doubled intraday Tuesday in what several outlets said was a surge of up to about 130%, then gave back a chunk of those gains in Wednesday trading.
  • The companies have not set a launch date and say product details, branding, rollout timing, and marketing plans will follow, with initial markets expected across finance, sports, and entertainment.
  • The partnership leans on a federal framework as prediction platforms face state legal fights, and it targets a sector companies and analysts say could reach about $1 trillion in annual U.S. trading by 2030, where firms like Kalshi and Polymarket are already active and exchanges such as Binance have moved in.
