First One Million Users to Sign Up Will Receive Up To $500 in Rewards; Users Can Download the OG App or Sign Up at OG.com

 TYLER, Texas, Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OG, a new prediction market experience, today announced its official launch, introducing a new way for consumers to trade, engage with others, and climb the leaderboard. Combining the accessibility of a consumer app, engagement features of a social media network, and the rigor of an institutional-grade platform, OG provides sports fans access to a most comprehensive range of CFTC-regulated sports event contracts as well as additional event contracts across financial, political, cultural, and entertainment events. The first one million users to sign up with OG will receive up to $500 in rewards.

Powered and offered by the digital financial platform leader, Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA), a CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse and affiliate of Crypto.com, OG enables users to trade on the likelihood of real-world events – from the winner of the Super Bowl and March Madness to economic indicators, entertainment outcomes, and cultural trends. OG aggregates market-driven probabilities into clear, continuously updated forecasts, giving users a transparent view of what the crowd believes will happen next. Sport fans and consumers also have the ability to connect with other traders, share their opinions, and celebrate their triumphs. OG also plans to provide access to CDNA’s margin prediction contracts offering through Crypto.com’s federally licensed futures commission merchant. This will be the first prediction markets platform to offer margin trading.

“Crypto.com successfully built one of the largest brands and best app experiences in cryptocurrency during a period of hypergrowth amid a complex regulatory landscape, and now we will work to replicate this experience with OG in the prediction market space,” said Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com. “We’ve experienced 40x weekly growth in our prediction market business over the last six months. This type of growth warrants a concerted effort with a standalone platform. Our goal is to establish OG as the premier sports prediction market technology with the best customer experience.”

As part of the launch of OG, Nick Lundgren has been named CEO of OG. Nick also serves as Chief Legal Officer of Crypto.com, where he led the company’s entrance with the nation’s first CFTC-regulated sports event contracts in December 2024 as President of CDNA. He has also spearheaded Crypto.com as the industry leader in licenses and certifications and procured the acquisition of CDNA in 2022, the then-largest acquisition in crypto industry history.

“Crypto.com was the first company to offer federally licensed sports prediction contracts in the United States, so launching OG is very fitting,” said Nick Lundgren, CEO of OG. “We have tremendous momentum and expertise to establish OG as a market leader for consumers in this deca-billion dollar industry and have had excellent success with our prediction markets partners. Sports are the natural hub of prediction markets, and we see a massive opportunity to provide fans with an all-encompassing platform where it pays to be right. I am thrilled to be leading OG and establishing this new era of prediction markets that will include parlays, margin trading, and a dynamic social layer.”

OG will also launch with a best-in-class VIP program leveraging Crypto.com’s robust sports and entertainment partnership portfolio to create signature experiences, including with the iconic Crypto.com Arena, UFC, Formula 1, UEFA Champions League, and more.

Backed by Crypto.com’s industry-leading security and compliance infrastructure, OG’s commitment to compliance will ensure the integrity of the experience and will offer consumer protections and equip customers with tools and resources to help manage exposure and trade responsibly.

OG will be headquartered in the U.S. and focused on the U.S. market initially, with plans to expand globally in the near future. Fans in the U.S. can make their call now by downloading OG in the App Store or Google Play Store, or via Web at https://OG.com.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
