Trump’s Truth Social Bets Big on Crypto Predictions 🤑🤡

by

Well, strap in, folks, because President Donald Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, is about to make your hot takes literally worth something. Thanks to a shiny new partnership with Crypto.com, it’s diving headfirst into the world of prediction markets. Because nothing says “trusted framework” like combining Trump, crypto, and your uncle’s political rants. 🍿

Truth Predict: Where Opinions Meet Overconfidence

According to a press release that probably used the word “disrupt” 17 times, Truth Social users will soon be able to predict everything from election outcomes to whether gold prices will crash harder than a Trump casino. 🎢 The feature, cleverly named “Truth Predict,” promises real-time updates, because who doesn’t love betting on inflation rates while scrolling through memes? 🤓

Apparently, this is all very similar to Kalshi and Polymarket, but with more MAGA hats. Devin Nunes, the CEO of Trump Media (yes, that Devin Nunes), is thrilled. He said something about “empowering users” and “unique avenues for discussion,” which we’re pretty sure translates to “let’s see how many people bet on alien invasions.” 👽

“We are thrilled to become the world’s first publicly traded social media platform to offer our users access to prediction markets. Truth Predict will empower our dedicated users to participate in prediction markets within a trusted framework, leveraging our social media platform to create unique avenues for discussion and comparison of their predictions.” – Devin Nunes, probably while eating a ham sandwich. 🥪

Crypto.com: Because Why Not?

Kris Marszalek, the big cheese at Crypto.com, chimed in to remind us that prediction markets are the next big thing. “Multi-deca-billion dollar industry,” he said, which is just a fancy way of saying “we’re all gonna be rich… or broke.” 💸 Meanwhile, CDNA is handling the event contracts, ensuring everything is federally compliant. Because nothing says “fun” like regulatory approval. 📜

“Prediction markets are poised to become a multi-deca-billion dollar industry. Crypto.com has rapidly established itself as a trusted provider of prediction market services, and we are excited to collaborate with Truth Social to deliver the world’s first prediction markets accessible through a social media platform.” – Kris Marszalek, definitely while wearing a blazer. 🕴️

Beta testing is coming soon, followed by a full U.S. launch. And yes, Truth Social plans to go global because why limit the chaos to one country? 🌍 Oh, and if you’ve been hoarding Truth gems like a dragon hoards gold, good news: you can convert them into Cronos (CRO) tokens and buy Truth Predict contracts. Because who needs a 401(k) when you can gamble on crude oil prices? 🚀

This whole thing is part of a bigger plan to create a CRO-focused digital asset treasury, thanks to a SPAC deal with Yorkville Acquisition Corp. Because nothing screams “financial stability” like a SPAC and a Trump-branded crypto venture. 🤹‍♂️

Probably a graph that makes no sense to anyone.

So there you have it, folks. Truth Social is now where your hot takes meet your bad financial decisions. What could possibly go wrong? 🤷‍♀️
