Crypto.com, the cryptocurrency broker and prediction market operator, is seeking a quantitative sports trader to join its prediction market team. The role involves market-making in sports contracts and managing risk, trading across multiple markets as odds and betting flows shift.
The LinkedIn posting specifies 5+ years of profitable sports-prediction trading experience on a leading trading desk in a bank, prop shop, or market-making firm. It also cites a salary range of $120,000 to $180,000, and as of December 25 more than 100 applicants had already applied.
The posting emphasizes that the trader will work with the firm’s internal market makers and respond to changes in live odds and betting flows. Crypto.com has faced regulatory hurdles, halting sports-event contracts in multiple states, highlighting the challenges of operating prediction-market offerings. Additionally, the company applies a three-second delay for retail contracts purchased after events begin, a restriction not extended to institutional participants.
