Crypto.com and OG.com Turn AI Disruption Into AI Predictions Market Contracts

August 31, 2026 — Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming one of the defining forces shaping the global economy. Consumers are changing how they search, shop, work and learn. Enterprises are redesigning operations around AI agents and automation. Public companies increasingly cite AI as a driver of productivity, growth and competitive advantage.

Yet despite AI’s accelerating economic impact, there has never been a trusted, independent way to measure how adoption is actually evolving.

Today, Crypto.com and PYMNTS announced 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, that will distribute products through Crypto.com’s introducing broker and other partners. The AI Predictions Market Contracts will be the first to deploy independently measured AI adoption across consumers, enterprises and public companies. These AI Predictions Market Contracts turn trusted measurements into market intelligence and tradable contracts that provide a new way to understand how AI is changing the economy as it happens.

Trading begins in September 2026 with more than 20 contracts spanning consumer behavior, enterprise deployment, workforce transformation, financial services, retail, healthcare and other sectors scheduled for a phased launch. Approximately 25 additional contracts will be introduced each quarter as the Crypto.com and PYMNTS partnership expands to measure new technologies, industries and business applications of artificial intelligence.

The AI Predictions Market Contracts are powered exclusively by the AI measurement framework developed by PYMNTS Intelligence through nearly 30 months of continuous measurement of AI adoption across consumers, enterprises and public companies. That historical benchmark establishes the methodology used to design contracts and determine settlement. Fresh consumer, enterprise and corporate measurements are collected every month and quarter continuously refreshing the market, ensuring every settlement reflects current changes in AI adoption rather than historical averages or one-time events.

“Artificial intelligence is transforming the global economy, but until now businesses and investors have lacked a trusted way to understand how adoption is actually unfolding,” said Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com and OG.com. “The AI Predictions Market Contracts introduce an entirely new source of market intelligence built on independently measured AI adoption. By combining OG.com’s regulated market infrastructure with the exclusive AI measurement framework developed by PYMNTS Intelligence, we are creating a transparent way to understand one of the most important economic transformations of our time that will be distributed throughout the Crypto.com and OG.com ecosystems.”

Rather than relying on indirect indicators such as semiconductor demand, cloud infrastructure spending or technology company earnings to gauge AI’s progress, the PYMNTS proprietary system measures AI adoption directly through continuously refreshed primary research. Those independently measured signals become the foundation for tradable contracts that allow market participants to express informed views on how AI adoption is evolving across industries and across the broader economy.

“Before people can value change, they have to measure it,” said Karen Webster, CEO of PYMNTS. “Every major economic transformation eventually develops a trusted standard for understanding what’s changing and where it is going. The AI economy has lacked that standard. Over nearly 30 months, PYMNTS Intelligence has built an independent framework that consistently measures AI adoption across consumers, enterprises and public companies. The AI Prediction Market transforms those measurements into a trusted prediction market that gives businesses, investors and policymakers a transparent way to understand where AI adoption is accelerating, where it is slowing and where it is creating measurable economic value.”

“When I first looked at the data PYMNTS has developed, I immediately knew that we are entering yet another new frontier for the utility of prediction markets,” said Steve Humenik, Chief Legal Officer of OG.com and Chairman of OG Prediction Markets. “The AI Predictions Markets Contracts will undoubtedly be an innovative and welcome game changer for the global economy. Welcome to a new derivatives asset class in a way that only Crypto.com, OG.com can deliver.”

The AI Prediction Market is built on three continuously refreshed measurement engines:

Consumer Behavior (Monthly): Measures how Americans use AI across health, education, work, commerce and everyday life through a nationally representative monthly study of 4,000 U.S. adults balanced across 180 census quotas.

Enterprise Deployment (Quarterly): Measures how organizations deploy AI, including production agents, workflow automation, realized productivity gains, software replacement and business outcomes through a nationally representative study of 500 U.S. enterprises and the executives responsible for AI strategy and investment.

Corporate and Market Disclosure (Quarterly): Measures how public companies communicate AI investment, revenue, productivity gains, workforce impacts and capital allocation through structured analysis of SEC filings, earnings materials and public disclosures, with every extraction validated through a transparent methodology.

The tradable contracts extend the value of that information by giving market participants a new way to express their views. Contracts settle against independently measured changes in AI adoption using a transparent, rules-based methodology. The nearly 30 months of historical measurement establish the benchmark and methodology, while each contract settles against fresh monthly and quarterly measurements that continuously refresh the market as AI adoption evolves.
