Digital trading platform Moomoo said Thursday it had partnered with prediction market operator Kalshi to bring CFTC-regulated event contracts to eligible users, allowing them to trade the outcomes of major economic, political and cultural events directly through the broker’s platform.
The offering gives users access to contracts linked to events such as the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions, inflation data, elections and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the New York-based company said in a press release.
Event contracts are exchange-traded derivatives that allow traders to bet on whether a specific outcome will occur. Prices range from $0.01 to $1 and represent the market’s implied probability of an event occurring. The contracts are fully collateralized and integrated with Moomoo’s existing stocks, options and exchange-traded funds (ETF).
Prediction markets have exploded in popularity since the 2024 US election, evolving from a niche forecasting tool into a fast-growing corner of the retail market.
Platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket have expanded beyond politics to sports, macroeconomic data and cultural events, attracting billions of dollars in trading volume. Total monthly volume on the two largest platforms rose from under $5 billion in September 2025 to around $24 billion in April 2026, underscoring growing investor appetite in event-driven markets.
“Our focus is on providing investors with both access and understanding,” Nate Palmer, president of Moomoo US, said in emailed comments. “Through event contracts and supporting educational resources, we provide users with additional tools to analyze and engage with important real-world events.
Kalshi, which has emerged as the dominant US market prediction platform, said the partnership will expand access to event-based trading.
The launch comes as interest in prediction markets continues to grow. By integrating Kalshi’s contracts, Moomoo joins a growing list of brokerages offering retail investors exposure to event-driven markets.
The partnership also expands Moomoo’s product ecosystem. The company recently introduced direct crypto deposits and withdrawals and launched moomoo API Skills, a feature designed to support AI-powered investment tools.
