Trump Media Partners with Crypto.com to Build Truth Predict

Truth Predict Compliance Platform

In a move that combines politics, media, and crypto finance, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) — the parent company of Truth Social, led by former US President Donald Trump — has officially announced a partnership with Crypto.com to launch “Truth Predict,” a blockchain-based prediction platform, to compete directly with Polymarket and Kalshi.

This partnership marks a bold move into the on-chain prediction market, demonstrating Trump Media’s ambition to transform Truth Social from a social network into a complete financial media ecosystem powered by decentralized financial infrastructure.

According to sources close to the launch, Truth Predict will allow users to bet on real-world events — from US elections and macroeconomic data releases to sports, entertainment, and digital asset movements.

• Blockchain Infrastructure: Powered by Crypto.com's blockchain and integrated with its global wallet ecosystem for a seamless experience.

• USD-Backed Stablecoin Market: Users will trade event contracts using USDC and CRO, minimizing volatility and ensuring regulatory transparency.

• Low Fee Transactions: Built on Crypto.com's high throughput network, allowing for sub-100% fees and near-instant settlement.

• KYC Compliance Access: US and international users will face tiered verification processes to comply with CFTC and SEC oversight of event-based derivatives products.

• Truth Data Engine: A proprietary oracle network designed to verify factual results through vetted news sources, aimed at preventing manipulation and misinformation.

MAGA Meets Moat in Prediction Battle

TMTG, valued at $5 billion through DJT stock, has pivoted from Truth Social's surprise 2024 election profit ($1 billion in revenue) to diversified investments, including participation in these predictions — fueled by Polymarket's $1.2 billion in election trading volume.

The app’s 70% conservative nature fits the “truth” narrative, but Crypto.com’s federal regulatory compliance has helped Kalshi avoid legal battles with the CFTC. Crypto.com, a Singapore-based exchange with $50 billion in monthly trading volume, offers CFTC-regulated derivatives—its U.S. arm has been approved for event contracts since 2024—ensuring Truth Predict avoids Polymarket’s offshore USDC pitfalls.

Compete with Polymarket

Truth Predict represents Trump Media's shift from content to financial engagement. The platform leverages Truth Social's tens of millions of users to create a liquidity layer for monetizing public opinion, where sentiment can be traded.

If successful, this could reshape Truth Social's identity—from a political megaphone to a financial interactive ecosystem—with marketplaces for politics, goods, and cultural trends all present in one user interface.

While Polymarket dominates the decentralized prediction space and Kalshi operates under CFTC approval, Truth Predict aims to occupy a middle ground – a regulated, user-friendly, and politically engaged marketplace that combines mainstream accessibility with on-chain transparency.

This positioning could disrupt both incumbent platforms by offering what neither has yet—pop culture relevance and media integration.
