Crypto.com and Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ: DJT) have scrapped their earlier plan to build a direct prediction market integration on Truth Social, opting instead for a marketing partnership that pushes Crypto.com's prediction market products to Truth Social users. TMTG interim CEO Kevin McGurn said the company's priorities are raising Truth Social revenue, expanding its global media business, and completing the merger with TAE. He called the marketing agreement a better fit with those goals. Crypto.com, meanwhile, is broadening its product line beyond digital assets. It recently hired former OKX executive Iskandar Vanblarcum to lead its prediction market division. The shift was reported by FX News Group and relayed by ChainCatcher. The revised deal keeps both companies involved in prediction markets without embedding the feature directly into Truth Social, a notable step as Crypto.com pushes deeper into non-crypto offerings and Trump Media seeks new revenue streams ahead of its planned merger with TAE.
