Crypto.com, PYMNTS Launch AI Prediction Market Contracts

Crypto.com and PYMNTS Intelligence are launching a new series of AI Predictions Market Contracts on Crypto.com's OG platform. The contracts will measure artificial intelligence adoption and deployment across industries, providing traders with targeted tools for capitalizing on AI trends.

The initial rollout features 20 contracts, with plans to add another 25 each quarter. The contracts settle against independently measured changes in AI adoption using rules-based metrics. Rather than relying on indirect indicators such as semiconductor demand or technology company earnings, the PYMNTS proprietary system measures AI adoption directly through continuously refreshed primary research.

The timing of this launch could prove fruitful, as AI adoption and deployment are expanding at breakneck speed. Professional traders and investors have had limited tools for expressing views on those trends, mainly stakes in technology companies or related funds. The new contracts offer a novel approach supported by regularly updated data.
