Moomoo has teamed up with Kalshi to offer CFTC-regulated event contracts, allowing users to trade on economic and political events via its platform.
Moomoo, a retail trading platform, has announced a partnership with Kalshi to introduce CFTC-regulated event contracts that focus on key economic indicators, political events, and major sports happenings directly through its app.
Key Developments:
- Moomoo users can now trade event contracts linked to significant events such as Federal Reserve decisions, inflation reports, elections, and the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
- This collaboration enhances Moomoo's product offerings as it aims to diversify into cryptocurrency and alternative trading options.
The partnership, revealed on Thursday, allows eligible users to engage in trading on the outcomes of important economic, political, and cultural events via Moomoo's brokerage platform, which is known for its focus on retail investors.
The event contracts will cover various scenarios, including interest rate changes by the Federal Reserve, inflation data releases, elections, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. These contracts, which are derivatives listed on exchanges, allow traders to speculate on the likelihood of specific outcomes, with prices ranging from $0.01 to $1 based on perceived probabilities. They will be fully collateralized and available alongside existing offerings of stocks, options, and ETFs.
Since the onset of the 2024 U.S. election, interest in prediction markets has surged, evolving from niche forecasting tools to a significant component of retail trading. Platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket have expanded their reach beyond political events to include sports and macroeconomic data, amassing billions in trading volume. The monthly trading volume on these platforms rose sharply from under $5 billion in September 2025 to around $24 billion by April 2026, reflecting a growing investor interest in event-driven markets.
Nate Palmer, president of Moomoo U.S., stated, "Our goal is to offer investors both access and understanding. By providing event contracts and educational resources, we are equipping users with tools to analyze and engage with significant real-world events."
Kalshi, recognized as the top U.S. prediction market platform, emphasized that this partnership will broaden access to event-based trading opportunities.
The collaboration aligns with Moomoo's recent efforts to expand its product ecosystem, including features for direct cryptocurrency transactions and the introduction of AI-driven investment tools through its moomoo API Skills.
