Key Takeaways
- Fanatics has launched Fanatics Markets, a prediction market platform offering contracts in sports, finance, and culture.
- The platform partners with Crypto.com’s CFTC-registered exchange to provide institutional-grade trading across 24 states.
Global digital sports company Fanatics has introduced Fanatics Markets, a prediction market platform that lets users trade on outcomes across sports, finance, politics, and culture, according to a Wednesday announcement.
Fanatics has spent years building products that deepen fan engagement across everything from apparel to gaming. With Fanatics Markets, the company looks to offer a secure, intuitive platform where users can weigh in on key moments in sports and culture, CEO Matt King said in a statement.
Fanatics Markets, which uses markets and pricing from Crypto.com Derivatives North America, provides tools and protection for users to interact safely with predictions. The platform is now available on iOS and Android, and is accessible across 24 states, including California, Texas, Florida, and Washington.
Fanatics entered the space after acquiring Paragon Global Markets, a CFTC-registered introducing broker, in July 2025. The company plans to launch its prediction marketplace in other states in the future.
Today’s launch covers event contracts on sports and macro events, with an expansion next year into crypto, pop culture, tech, climate, and entertainment.
Fanatics Markets also bakes in responsible-trading tools and leverages the company’s massive brand ecosystem in an effort to make prediction markets mainstream.
