According to reports from AMBCrypto, Crypto.com will introduce over 20 prediction contracts in September 2026 that allow users to forecast artificial intelligence adoption trends. Unlike traditional prediction markets tied to elections or sporting events, these contracts will depend on surveys and company disclosures measuring AI usage patterns among consumers and businesses. The contracts will trade through OG Prediction Markets, an exchange and clearinghouse regulated by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, with Crypto.com and other partners providing access to users. As reported by Crypto.com, this makes the platform the first to offer AI Predictions Market Contracts that deploy independently measured AI data adoption data to allow market participants to forecast AI's impact on the global economy.
As reported by AMBCrypto, the initial group of contracts will cover consumer behavior, workplace changes, company adoption, healthcare, retail and financial services. The platform expects to add approximately 25 additional contracts each quarter. Individual questions have not been published, but contracts could ask whether AI usage among American workers will exceed a stated level in the next survey. Users will bet based on expected survey findings, with results determining contract payouts rather than direct AI success predictions. The AI Predictions Market Contracts are powered exclusively by the AI measurement framework developed by PYMNTS Intelligence through nearly 30 months of continuous measurement of AI adoption across consumers, enterprises and public companies.
According to the announcement, Crypto.com and PYMNTS have agreed to an exclusive two-year partnership for the new products. PYMNTS Intelligence conducts 4,000 US adult surveys monthly about AI usage in work, education, shopping and healthcare, while a separate quarterly survey covers 500 US companies examining AI agent and automation adoption. The organization has collected nearly 30 months of historical data, providing a foundation for measuring future AI adoption changes. PYMNTS will also analyze company filings, earnings materials and public statements for evidence of AI investment, revenue and workforce effects. The AI Prediction Market is built on three continuously refreshed measurement engines that collect fresh consumer, enterprise and corporate measurements every month and quarter continuously refreshing the market as AI adoption evolves.
As reported by AMBCrypto, users will be forecasting what future research reveals about AI adoption and economic effects rather than betting directly on AI success or failure. The platform allows users to trade on future AI trends across multiple sectors, with outcomes determined by real-world data rather than speculation. This approach provides a unique mechanism for tracking AI's practical impact on workplaces, consumer habits and major industries through verified research methods. According to Crypto.com, the AI Predictions Market Contracts turn trusted measurements into market intelligence and tradable contracts that provide a new way to understand how AI is changing the economy as it happens, giving 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.
