On Monday, the sports merchandiser announced that it has agreed to acquire Water Street Labs and CX Clearinghouse from BGC Group, giving Fanatics ownership of a federally regulated exchange and clearinghouse which allows it to launch and settle its own prediction market contracts. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Through the acquisition, Fanatics will be able to list and clear contracts itself, giving it more control over the products it offers and how quickly it can bring new markets online. Fanatics and BGC also plan to develop new market data products that combine prediction market activity with traditional financial data, the companies said.
Prediction markets have become one of the fastest-growing areas of finance with much of that growth being fueled by CFTC-regulated exchange Kalshi and powerhouse Polymarket, which runs its operations on a blockchain.
Crypto-native companies have also helped push the category into the mainstream. Coinbase (COIN) partnered with Kalshi to bring prediction markets to its users in 50 states, while Robinhood (HOOD) has begun offering event contracts through the same exchange.
Against that backdrop, Fanatics is betting that its large sports audience can help bring prediction markets to an even broader consumer base. The company's Markets platform launched in late 2024 and is available in 23 states and four U.S. territories.
Sportsbooks operators are similarly expanding into prediction markets, with DraftKings announcing late last year it would launch its own platform.
