Moomoo Partners with Kalshi to Launch Prediction Markets
Moomoo has partnered with Kalshi to introduce CFTC-regulated event contracts on its trading platform. This development allows users to trade on outcomes related to economic data, elections, and major sporting events, as reported by CoinDesk.
Moomoo, a retail trading platform, has entered a partnership with Kalshi, enabling the offering of CFTC-regulated event contracts directly within its app. This integration allows users to engage in trading related to notable outcomes such as Federal Reserve interest rate changes, inflation data, elections, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The event contracts, which are exchange-listed derivatives, provide traders with the opportunity to speculate on whether specific outcomes will be realized, featuring prices that range from $0.01 to $1 based on the market's perceived probability. With this move, Moomoo expands its product offerings, which already include equities, options, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), while tapping into the robust demand for alternative trading products.
Prediction markets have gained significant traction, particularly following the 2024 U.S. elections, transforming from a specialized forecasting tool into a rapidly growing area within retail trading. Platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket have attracted considerable trading volume, with combined monthly volumes increasing from below $5 billion in September 2025 to approximately $24 billion by April 2026. Nate Palmer, president of Moomoo U.S., emphasized the firm’s commitment to enhancing investor access and understanding. He stated, "Our focus is on providing investors with both access and understanding. Through event contracts and supporting educational resources, we’re giving users additional tools to analyze and engage with significant real-world events."
As Moomoo integrates Kalshi's event contracts, it joins a growing wave of brokerages catering to the demand for event-driven trading among retail investors. In addition to this partnership, Moomoo has recently introduced features facilitating direct cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals, as well as an API designed to support AI-powered investing tools. The ongoing expansion of Moomoo's product ecosystem indicates an increasing emphasis on diversifying trading options amid a shifting retail investment landscape.
