Underdog to Bring Crypto and Stablecoin Account Funding to Prediction Markets, Powered by zerohash
NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NEXTPredict NYC Summit -- Underdog, the prediction market and fantasy sports pioneer, today announced that users will be able to fund their accounts with stablecoins and crypto, in a new partnership with zerohash, the leading onchain infrastructure provider. The new funding option is expected to be available to eligible users later this year.
The new capability will allow eligible users to fund their Underdog accounts directly with supported stablecoins and digital assets, providing an additional funding option alongside existing rails, all natively within the Underdog app. Prediction markets and fantasy contests move quickly, and stablecoins allow for instant, real time settlement including on weekends and evenings when fiat rails are unavailable. By leveraging zerohash’s onchain infrastructure, users can move money into their accounts in near real time, so funding keeps up with the speed of the games and they can participate in live markets and contests the moment opportunities arise.
For Underdog users, the benefits include:
- Near-instant account funding 24/7/365;
- Simple, account-to-account funding with wallet addresses and chain selection abstracted away; and
- More choice and flexibility in how accounts are funded.
“We launched our own exchange so we could move at the speed our customers expect, and funding needs to move at that same speed,” said Arthik Adla, Head of Payments at Underdog. “Stablecoins and onchain assets unlock greater choice and speed. Partnering with zerohash will allow customers to fund their accounts and get into the action faster, anytime, from anywhere.”
"Prediction markets never close, and users increasingly expect their money to move just as fast,” said Adam Tesan, Chief Revenue Officer at zerohash. “Stablecoins solve that by moving money globally, 24/7. We built zerohash to make that simple for companies like Underdog, so their customers can fund their accounts when the velocity of money matters most.”
The integration follows Underdog’s launch of its own federally licensed prediction market exchange, making Underdog the first sports company with the complete prediction market license stack, including a Designated Contract Market (DCM), Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO), and Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), all wholly owned and operated by Underdog.
