DraftKings has been promoting a ‘super app’ that includes both its sportsbook and prediction market

DraftKings for the first time sent serious volume to its in-house exchange DKeX last week, including millions in parlay volume, in a sign that the business appears ready to seriously ramp up activity on its own exchange during football season.

DraftKings owns DraftKings Predictions — which is a futures commission merchant (FCM) that can direct users to multiple exchanges — and DKeX, which is an exchange itself. Generally, DraftKings Predictions has sent the vast majority of its sports volume to Crypto.com. However, last Thursday and Friday it began what looked to be the first real push to get customers to use its in-house exchange.
