Trump Media Cuts Truth Predict to OG.com Marketing Tie-Up, Not Full 2026 Launch

2 articles · Updated · WIRED · May 12
  • Trump Media said in a new filing that Truth Predict is still in development, but its initial rollout will be limited to a “marketing and promotion collaboration” with Crypto.com’s U.S. prediction platform OG.com.
  • That marks a retreat from its October 2025 pitch for an embedded Truth Social product where users could trade on sports, inflation and elections using converted “Truth gem” and Cronos tokens.
  • Neither Trump Media nor Crypto.com explained what the collaboration includes, leaving unclear whether Truth Social users will actually place trades inside the app or simply be steered to OG.com.
  • The shift comes as prediction markets expand under a friendlier Trump-era CFTC, even as states including Nevada, Wisconsin and Massachusetts challenge firms such as Polymarket, Kalshi and Crypto.com in court.
  • Crypto.com already has broader Trump-world ties through a shared crypto treasury venture, political donations and a June White House lawn MMA event tied to its 10th anniversary.
