AI Adoption Contracts Offer a New Way to Engage with Prediction Markets

Crypto.com and PYMNTS Intelligence have unveiled a new partnership that aims to bring a novel concept to prediction markets. The two companies plan to offer AI Prediction Market Contracts, allowing users to wager on the increasing adoption of AI. This technology will also power the new contracts themselves, measuring various metrics to deliver exciting opportunities for customers. AI Adoption Remains a Driving Economic Force This new collaboration aims to provide a trusted, independent way to measure AI adoption across businesses and individuals. Crypto.com and PYMNTS hope that these novel contracts will deliver an in-depth understanding of how AI is shaping the global economy. The contracts will be available on OG Prediction Markets, Crypto.com’s own exchange platform. Crypto.com expects these new offerings to become available in September 2026. The initial offering will consist of 20 contracts, with 25 more added each quarter as the two companies refine their offerings. Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com and OG.com, hoped that this new source of market intelligence would give investors a trusted way to understand how AI adoption is unfolding. 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. Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com and OG.com The tradable contracts will give market participants a new way to express their views on AI, enhancing the value of the information available. Crypto.com and PYMNTS will publish their complete methodology, contract specifications, and a settlement calendar before trading opens, allowing users to make informed decisions. Traders Will Express Informed Views on AI PYMNTS Intelligence’s AI measurement framework will power these new contracts. It contains over 2 years of measurement data on AI adoption rates across consumers and businesses. This continually updated body of research will allow traders to express their informed views on AI adoption and its impact on the broader economy. The new AI contracts will focus on three primary metrics. Consumer behavior gauges AI usage across the general population. Enterprise deployment measures how organizations deploy AI and automate their workflows. Finally, corporate and market disclosure analyzes SEC filings, earnings materials, and public disclosures to see how companies communicate the use of the technology. The AI Predictions Market 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. Karen Webster, PYMNTS Intelligence CEO The timing of this development is no coincidence. AI is rapidly becoming a powerful force in the global economy, shaping nearly all consumer interaction. Crypto.com and PYMNTS will provide an independent, data-driven tool to measure AI adoption, providing valuable insights while giving traders a novel way to engage with prediction markets.
