Institutional traders gained another route into regulated prediction markets on 18 August, when Trading Technologies International (TT) announced the Trading Technologies OG.com integration, connecting its platform to Crypto.com’s CFTC-regulated prediction markets exchange. The connection is expected to go live in the fourth quarter of 2026.
What OG.com Actually Is, and Why the Regulator Matters
OG.com is Crypto.com’s standalone prediction markets venue. Its contracts are cleared through Crypto.com Derivatives North America (CDNA), which holds a designation as a contract market (DCM) and registered clearing house with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the US derivatives regulator.
CDNA was originally incorporated as Hedge Street Inc., received its CFTC designation in 2004, and later rebranded to North American Derivatives Exchange, or Nadex. According to the CFTC’s prediction markets page, the exchange was acquired by Foris DAX Markets and renamed under the Crypto.com umbrella in 2022. The original snippet described the acquisition as occurring in 2021; the CFTC’s own records place the regulatory rename in 2022, and the CFTC is the higher-authority source on its own filings.
The regulatory picture changed further in September 2025. The CFTC’s DCM filing for CDNA shows that on 30 September 2025, the CFTC amended its order to allow the exchange to offer margined futures, cleared on an intermediated basis by registered futures commission merchants. That amendment is what enables the margin-based crypto futures contracts that TT will also support alongside its OG.com connectivity.
Trading Technologies OG.com Integration: What It Gives Institutional Traders
The practical case for the tie-up is workflow consolidation. Alun Green, TT’s executive vice-president and managing director for futures and options, said the integration would give clients ‘the ability to utilize the full power of TT’s execution and algorithmic trading tools alongside our clearing and margin optimization solutions to efficiently trade and clear these products,’ adding that he sees ‘a strong and growing appetite among our institutional clients’ to access regulated prediction and digital asset markets.
In plain terms, a desk already running futures and options through TT does not need to log into a separate system to trade event contracts. The same order management, algo tooling and risk controls carry across. That matters for compliance and operational risk teams at institutions where separate workflows mean separate oversight requirements.
This is not TT’s first move into prediction markets. The firm had already integrated with Kalshi, the other main US-regulated event contracts venue, making OG.com part of a broader build-out rather than a one-off deal.
Other infrastructure providers have moved in parallel. Alpaca set up its own futures commission merchant subsidiary to handle event contract flow directly. Tradeweb has worked with Kalshi on institutional data and analytics. ION Group added event-based contracts to its XTP platform. Each integration shifts liquidity and revenue flows: exchanges like OG.com and Kalshi get easier access to professional order flow, and the infrastructure providers earn new execution, data and clearing-related income.
The Scale CDNA Has Already Reached
Crypto.com has described OG.com’s growth at 40-fold since it spun the prediction markets business into a standalone platform. The underlying exchange’s cumulative scale gives context: a CFTC filing submitted by CDNA in January 2025 stated that contracts traded across its cryptocurrency commodity derivatives products had exceeded 39 million contracts since launch, cited in the context of the exchange seeking to expand its product range.
For UK retail investors watching this space, the direct tradability of OG.com’s contracts depends on their broker’s connectivity and on CFTC access rules, which typically limit retail participation without intermediary structure. The institutional-facing nature of this particular deal means the near-term effect for private investors is indirect: greater professional liquidity in regulated prediction markets tends to improve pricing and reduce spreads over time, though that is not guaranteed.
TT itself, which the firm describes as a global capital markets technology provider, took the APAC Capital Markets Technology Supplier of the Year award at the A-Team Group’s Capital Markets Technology Awards in July 2026, according to TT’s news releases page. The OG.com integration lands as the firm positions itself at the centre of regulated event contract infrastructure in the US.
The key date to watch is Q4 2026, when the live connection is scheduled to switch on. If margined futures volumes on CDNA grow quickly after that, the revenue case for further infrastructure partnerships strengthens, and more brokers are likely to follow.
