Crypto.com and PYMNTS Launch AI Predictions Market Contracts | LeapRate
Crypto.com and PYMNTS have entered an exclusive two-year partnership to launch AI Predictions Market Contracts on OG Prediction Markets, an exchange and clearinghouse regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Products will be distributed through Crypto.com’s introducing broker and other partners.
The new contracts aim to be the first to deploy independently measured AI adoption data across consumers, enterprises and public companies, converting research into tradable market intelligence.
Karen Webster, CEO of PYMNTS, said measurement typically precedes valuation in major economic shifts. She noted that PYMNTS Intelligence has spent nearly 30 months building an independent framework tracking AI adoption, which the new predictions market will translate into a transparent tool for businesses, investors and policymakers to gauge where AI adoption is accelerating or slowing.
Trading is set to begin in September 2026, opening with more than 20 contracts covering consumer behavior, enterprise deployment, workforce transformation, financial services, retail, healthcare and other sectors. Roughly 25 additional contracts are expected to be added each quarter as the partnership expands into new technologies and industries.
The contracts rely on three measurement engines: a monthly consumer behavior study of 4,000 US adults, a quarterly enterprise deployment survey of 500 US companies, and quarterly analysis of corporate disclosures including SEC filings and earnings materials.
Full methodology, contract specifications and a settlement calendar are expected to be released ahead of the September launch.
