Flutter Shifts FanDuel Predicts to Crypto.com as DraftKings Sees $11 Billion Prediction Volume

Summary
Flutter said it will move FanDuel Predicts sports and novelty contracts from CME to Crypto.com, aiming to roll out products faster before the NFL season; CME will still handle financial market contracts.
DraftKings used earnings to show how quickly the category is scaling: its predictions platform reached 600,000 users, and annualized volume jumped to $11 billion from $2.3 billion between April and July.
The growth is drawing more entrants and investment. Robinhood said event-contract revenue hit $156 million, while Coinbase said annualized prediction-markets revenue topped $100 million in the second quarter.
Regulation remains a key constraint, with Kalshi and Polymarket facing state scrutiny and more than 40 attorneys general challenging the CFTC's claim to exclusive oversight of sports event contracts.
For Flutter, the push is also strategic: Peter Jackson said FanDuel Predicts can help acquire customers in states before sports betting is legalized, even as Flutter and DraftKings both posted mixed quarterly results.
