Crypto.com has teamed up with ERShares and Signal Markets to build what the companies describe as a next-generation, global market-intelligence platform that merges macroeconomic data, capital markets pricing and corporate outcomes into a continuous prediction-market experience.

The initiative, led by Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA), the firm’s CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse affiliate, aims to move prediction markets beyond one-off event bets and toward an always-updating view of how traders and markets collectively interpret policy signals, economic releases and company performance. The three parties say the platform will layer probabilistic models across interest rates, inflation, employment, equities, commodities, digital assets and corporate earnings to show not just what happened, but what the market expects next. 

Under the deal, ERShares will handle information integration, research design and the project’s media and podcast programming, while Signal Markets supplies the probability-based modeling and forecasting architecture. Crypto.com will plug the product into its global user base and broader ecosystem, giving users access and distribution through its app and exchange infrastructure. The partners stress the work will be developed in compliance with applicable regulations. 

“Crypto.com has built one of the most powerful global platforms in digital finance,” Joel Shulman, founder and CIO of ERShares and a professor at Babson College, said in a statement announcing the collaboration. “By combining that scale and technology with our investment framework and Signal Markets’ analytical engine, we are creating a new way for investors to understand markets through expectations rather than hindsight.” Eva Ados, ERShares’ chief investment strategist and COO, added that as market complexity increases, investors “need clearer signals, not more noise,” and framed the platform as a practical way to connect macro trends, asset prices and corporate performance. 

Travis McGhee, Global Head of Predictions at Crypto.com, described the move as a natural evolution for the company’s exchange and clearinghouse offerings, saying the collaboration reflects a belief that the “future of financial platforms lies in combining access with intelligence.” McGhee said the partners intend to expand Crypto.com’s prediction-market products from purely transactional contracts into tools that help users interpret trends and risk through data-driven insight.

The announcement comes as prediction markets are attracting renewed attention across the finance and crypto industries, with several platforms emphasizing regulated frameworks for event and economic contracts. Crypto.com has in recent months positioned its CDNA arm as a regulated venue for CFTC-covered products, and the company framed the new collaboration as part of a broader push to offer data-driven tools alongside custody, payments and trading services. 

Signal Markets, a fintech firm focused on probabilistic forecasting and predictive analytics, and ERShares, an investment manager known for ETFs, indexes and research content, will each bring complementary capabilities: Signal’s forecasting engine and ERShares’ research and media channels paired with Crypto.com’s distribution and regulated market infrastructure. Together, the partners say, the platform is intended to appeal to both professional investors seeking structured market intelligence and a broader retail audience that wants clearer, real-time interpretations of economic and corporate developments. 

All three firms indicated that more details on product features, launch timing and integrations will be released in the coming weeks. For now, they emphasize that the collaboration will evolve within applicable regulatory frameworks and that the platform’s early focus will be on connecting expectations across macro indicators and corporate results into an always-on prediction-market view. 

Founded in 2016, Crypto.com noted in its release that it serves millions of customers worldwide and continues to expand beyond core digital-asset services into tools intended to help users understand markets and manage risk, a strategic direction that underpins the new collaboration with ERShares and Signal Markets.
