Key Takeaways
- Crypto.com expanded its Solidus Labs partnership to monitor US prediction markets and tokenized securities with the HALO surveillance platform.
- The move strengthens Crypto.com’s challenge to Kalshi and Polymarket, which also use Solidus technology to detect manipulation and insider trading.
- Market surveillance has become a key competitive issue as prediction platforms face growing regulatory scrutiny and increasingly complex trading risks.
Crypto.com has expanded its partnership with Solidus Labs to strengthen trade surveillance across its US prediction markets and tokenized securities business.
The move places Crypto.com alongside rivals Kalshi and Polymarket in an intensifying race to build more credible market-integrity systems.
All three platforms have turned to Solidus Labs as regulators scrutinize insider trading, wash trading and manipulation in event-contract markets.
Crypto.com will deploy Solidus Labs’ HALO platform across its expanding product suite, including OG Prediction Markets. The system analyzes trading behavior, orders, social sentiment and open-source intelligence to identify potentially abusive activity.
Crypto.com Strengthens Oversight of Prediction Markets
Crypto.com already used Solidus Labs to monitor parts of its digital asset business. The expanded partnership will extend that surveillance to prediction contracts and tokenized securities, two areas that present distinct compliance challenges.
HALO combines on-chain and off-chain information in real time. It can compare user behavior with order flows, market developments, social media activity and publicly available information to flag patterns associated with manipulation or insider trading.
“As Crypto.com continues to build out a fully regulated, multi-product platform, our commitment to leading on compliance, and securing the trust of our users and regulators, only grows stronger,” Crypto.com Chief Compliance Officer Antonio Alvarez Lorenzo said.
Crypto.com offers prediction contracts through Crypto.com Derivatives North America and OG Prediction Markets. The company’s derivatives affiliate operates as a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-registered designated contract market and derivatives clearing organization.
OG lists contracts covering cryptocurrencies, financial markets, companies, economic developments, climate and culture. It also offers sports-related and cultural event contracts where permitted.
Kalshi and Polymarket Fuel Surveillance Race
Crypto.com enters a market in which its largest competitors have already invested heavily in monitoring infrastructure.
Kalshi partnered with Solidus Labs in February 2026 to reinforce surveillance across more than 4,000 markets.
The federally regulated exchange also created an independent surveillance advisory committee and appointed a head of enforcement to coordinate investigations into manipulation and insider trading. Kalshi said Solidus would supplement its internal monitoring systems.
Polymarket has also expanded its work with Solidus Labs following scrutiny of suspicious trading patterns on the platform.
That relationship carries added significance because Solidus previously studied Polymarket’s markets. Its “Polymarket Under the Polygraph” report found significant profit concentration and signs of wash trading in selected political contracts between December 2025 and February 2026.
The findings highlighted the difficulties prediction platforms face when separating legitimate activity from coordinated or deceptive trading.
With Crypto.com joining the same surveillance ecosystem, Solidus now occupies a central position in the prediction-market industry’s compliance infrastructure.
Market Integrity Becomes a Competitive Issue
Prediction markets allow traders to buy and sell contracts tied to elections, sporting events, economic data and other real-world outcomes.
Their rapid growth has also increased concerns about participants using privileged information or artificial trading activity to influence prices.
Solidus CEO Asaf Meir described prediction markets as a potential “trillion-dollar asset class opportunity,” while arguing that platforms must make market integrity a core requirement.
Crypto.com’s expansion suggests compliance has become more than a regulatory obligation.
Platforms increasingly use surveillance capabilities to win the confidence of customers, institutional partners and regulators.
The decision also broadens the competition among Crypto.com, Kalshi and Polymarket beyond market selection, liquidity and user experience.
