High Roller Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ROLR) announced a definitive agreement with Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA) to launch event‑based prediction markets in the United States. The deal gives High Roller access to CDNA’s CFTC‑registered, regulated prediction‑contract platform and positions the company to distribute the contracts through its existing online casino channels as an introducing broker.
CDNA, an affiliate of Crypto.com, holds a Designated Contract Market license and has recently expanded its regulatory approvals to include margined derivatives. By leveraging CDNA’s infrastructure, High Roller can offer U.S. customers a fully compliant prediction‑market experience while maintaining its own brand and customer base.
The partnership follows a period of significant transformation for High Roller. In its March 10, 2026 earnings release, the company reported a 11.9% decline in full‑year 2025 net revenues to $20.5 million, driven primarily by the planned exit from less profitable markets. Operating expenses fell 16% to $12.3 million, reflecting cost‑cutting measures that helped the company return to profitability. Early in 2026, High Roller raised $26 million through a private placement and a registered direct offering to fund growth initiatives, including the prediction‑market expansion.
CEO Seth Young said, "We are thrilled to have reached a definitive agreement to enter the prediction markets space with Crypto.com. Over the last few months, we have been working towards preparing our product and other logistics for this transformative opportunity. Today marks a significant milestone in that journey. We believe this partnership gives us a strong starting position in a market with meaningful long‑term potential, and we’re confident in our ability to deliver." The partnership is expected to generate fee‑based revenue, with estimates suggesting that modest trading volume could yield $15‑$40 million in annual revenue as the U.S. market matures.
Market reaction to the announcement was positive, reflecting investor enthusiasm for the high‑margin prediction‑market opportunity. The partnership was viewed as a key growth catalyst that diversifies High Roller’s revenue mix and leverages its existing technology and customer relationships. The announcement also underscored the company’s strategic shift away from legacy iCasino operations toward regulated, high‑growth markets.
Looking forward, High Roller plans to launch the prediction‑market platform in the first quarter of 2026, following the regulatory approvals already in place. The company’s capital raise and cost‑control measures position it to capture a share of the projected $1 trillion annual trading volume in the U.S. prediction‑market sector, potentially accelerating its revenue growth and profitability in the coming years.
