Crypto.com And OG Prediction Markets Named Global Partners Of The United States SailGP Team
Multi-year partnership announced ahead of this week’s New York Sail Grand Prix
Published 05/29/2026
May 29, 2026 — With the New York Sail Grand Prix set to electrify the city’s waterfront later this week, the United States SailGP Team today announced a Global Partnership centered around Crypto.com’s CFTC-regulated exchange and clearinghouse, OG Prediction Markets. The collaboration will establish a landmark partnership at the intersection of premier sports prediction market technology with the best customer experience that integrates markets with social community.
The multi-year agreement designates Crypto.com and OG as the Official Crypto Exchange and Official Prediction Market Partners of the U.S. SailGP Team, with branding featured prominently across the team’s F50, race kit, and team environments. The partnership also encompasses digital content campaigns, fan activations, and integrations within OG Prediction Markets — giving fans a new and engaging way to interact with U.S. SailGP Team racing in real-time as they compete around the world.
OG Prediction Markets allows users to trade prediction market contracts on live sporting and global events. The Global Partnership represents a natural extension of OG Prediction Market’s mission to deepen fan participation in elite sports, with SailGP’s high-speed, data-rich race format providing compelling material for prediction trading engagement. This weekend’s Grand Prix race fans will be among the first to experience the integration firsthand.
SailGP, widely regarded as the Formula 1 on the water, features the revolutionary F50 foiling catamarans capable of speeds exceeding 60 mph. The league’s thirteen competing national teams race across iconic global venues, drawing a fast-growing international audience across broadcast and streaming platforms.
“Crypto.com has always backed those who compete at the highest level — and the U.S. SailGP Team is exactly that. The OG Prediction Markets partnership reflects our long-term commitment to a diverse offering of sports prediction markets, including highly technical and data driven sports like SailGP,” said Steve Humenik, EVP and Global Head of Legal for Prediction and Capital Markets. “The result is a true global trading community that expands our prediction markets ecosystem, further making the U.S. the Prediction Markets Capital of the World. It is fitting that we announce this partnership in the U.S. ahead of this weekend's Grand Prix.”
For the United States SailGP Team, the Global Partnership brings not only worldwide brand credibility but a direct connection to Crypto.com’s vast user base and OG Prediction Market’s growing community of prediction market participants — creating new pathways to customer acquisition and data-driven engagement around every race event.
“Having Crypto.com and OG Prediction Markets commit to a multi-year Global Partnership is a tremendous statement of confidence in where the U.S. SailGP Team and this league are heading. Announcing here in the U.S., days before we race on the iconic waterfront of New York, makes this moment even more special,” Mike Buckley, Team Principal, CEO & Co-Owner, United States SailGP Team. “This is a long-term relationship, and the ability for fans to engage with our races through OG’s prediction platform is just the beginning of what we’ll build together. Adding another best in class partner to our team before the biggest race of the regular season is monumental.”
The livery branding will make its on-water debut at the New York Sail Grand Prix later this week, with co-branded content and OG Prediction Markets integrations rolling out across partner channels immediately.
