Moomoo, a retail trading platform, has formed a partnership with Kalshi to provide CFTC-regulated event contracts related to economic indicators, elections, and significant sports events directly through its app.

Key Details:

  • Users of Moomoo can now engage in trading Kalshi event contracts that are associated with Federal Reserve decisions, inflation reports, elections, and the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
  • This initiative broadens Moomoo's range of products as it seeks to expand into cryptocurrency and alternative trading options.

On Thursday, Moomoo announced its collaboration with Kalshi, which specializes in prediction markets, enabling eligible participants to trade on the outcomes of key economic, political, and cultural events via its brokerage platform.

This new offering includes contracts connected to events like interest rate decisions by the Federal Reserve, inflation data releases, elections, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as stated in a press release from the New York-based firm.

Event contracts, which are derivatives listed on exchanges, allow traders to speculate on whether a specific outcome will occur. The prices for these contracts range from $0.01 to $1, reflecting the market's perceived probability of an event's occurrence. These contracts are fully collateralized and will be available alongside Moomoo's existing offerings of stocks, options, and ETFs.

Since the 2024 U.S. election, prediction markets have surged in popularity, transitioning from a specialized forecasting tool to a rapidly growing sector within retail trading.

Platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket have expanded their focus beyond politics to include sports, macroeconomic data, and cultural events, drawing in billions in trading volume. The combined monthly trading volume on the two leading platforms increased from under $5 billion in September 2025 to approximately $24 billion by April 2026, indicating a rising interest among investors in event-driven markets.

Nate Palmer, president of Moomoo U.S., commented via email, "Our aim is to provide investors with both access and understanding. Through event contracts and the educational resources we offer, we're equipping users with additional tools to analyze and engage with significant real-world events."

Kalshi, which has established itself as the leading U.S. prediction market platform, noted that this partnership will enhance access to event-based trading.

The launch coincides with a growing interest in prediction markets. By incorporating Kalshi's contracts, Moomoo aligns itself with an increasing number of brokerages that are providing retail investors opportunities in event-driven markets.

This partnership also enhances Moomoo's product ecosystem. Recently, the company has introduced features for direct cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals, as well as the moomoo API Skills, aimed at supporting AI-driven investment tools.
