The move expands moomoo's product lineup as it pushes further into crypto and alternative trading products. 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 on the outcomes of major economic, political and cultural events directly through the brokerage's platform. The offering gives users access to contracts linked to events such as Federal Reserve interest-rate decisions, inflation data releases, elections and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the New York-based company said in a press release. Event contracts are exchange-listed derivatives that allow traders to take positions on whether a specific outcome will occur. Prices range from $0.01 to $1 and represent the market's implied probability of an event happening. The contracts are fully collateralized and integrated alongside Moomoo's existing equities, options and exchange-traded fund (ETF) offerings. Prediction markets have exploded in popularity since the 2024 U.S. election, evolving from a niche forecasting tool into a fast-growing corner of the retail trading market. Platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket have expanded beyond politics into sports, macroeconomic data and cultural events, attracting billions of dollars in trading volume. Combined monthly volume on the two largest platforms climbed from under $5 billion in September 2025 to about $24 billion by April 2026, underscoring growing investor appetite for event-driven markets. "Our focus is on providing investors with both access and understanding,” Nate Palmer, president of Moomoo U.S., said in emailed comments. "Through event contracts and supporting educational resources, we’re giving users additional tools to analyze and engage with significant real-world events. Kalshi, which has emerged as the dominant U.S. prediction market platform, said the partnership will broaden 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 investing tools.
