Fanatics Markets lets users trade event contracts tied to sports, finance, economics, and politics. A user can predict outcomes such as whether a team will score over a set number of points or if a major story will develop.
Prices and markets come from Crypto.com Derivatives North America, a CFTC-regulated exchange. This gives the platform the same level of oversight used in traditional finance. Fanatics handles the design and user interface to keep the experience familiar for everyday fans.
The app launches in 10 states, with more states, including California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, set to follow soon. As of press time, the app is available now on iOS and Android.

Leaders Expect Strong Demand
Travis McGhee, Global Head of Predictions at Crypto.com, said the company was the first to offer sports prediction markets and sees the Fanatics partnership as a major step forward. He said both companies want to give users a safe and compliant way to access these markets.
Fanatics Betting and Gaming CEO Matt King said the new product fits the company’s long-term mission. He noted that Fanatics already serves fans through merchandise, tickets, collectibles, and events. Fanatics Markets, he said, adds a new way for fans to engage and earn if their predictions are correct.
Fanatics Markets will launch in two stages. Phase One is live now with sports, finance, economics, and political event contracts. Phase Two will begin early next year with new categories, including crypto, IPOs, climate, tech, movies, and music.
The platform also includes tools that help users set limits and manage risk while trading.
