Digital brokerage Moomoo has partnered with Kalshi to list CFTC-regulated event contracts on its trading platform. The integration allows eligible users to trade on outcomes tied to economic, political, and cultural events. The company disclosed the partnership on Thursday through an official press release.

Moomoo and Kalshi Integrate Regulated Event Contracts

Moomoo will offer exchange-listed event contracts that Kalshi lists under CFTC oversight. The contracts allow users to trade on outcomes such as Federal Reserve rate decisions and inflation releases. They also cover elections and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Prices range from $0.01 to $1 and reflect implied probabilities of specific outcomes. Traders fully collateralize each position before execution on the platform. Moomoo integrates the contracts alongside equities, options, and ETFs.

Nate Palmer, president of Moomoo U.S., described the rollout in emailed comments. He said, “Our focus is on providing investors with both access and understanding.” He added that event contracts and education tools will support user engagement with real-world developments.

Kalshi said the partnership will broaden access to regulated event-based trading products. The company has positioned itself as a leading U.S. prediction market platform. Through this integration, Kalshi expands distribution within established brokerage channels.

Retail Demand Drives Expansion in Event-Based Trading

Prediction markets have gained traction since the 2024 U.S. election cycle. Platforms have moved beyond politics into sports and macroeconomic data contracts. As a result, retail participation in event-driven markets has increased.

Kalshi and Polymarket have recorded strong growth in trading activity. Combined monthly trading volume rose from under $5 billion in September 2025. By April 2026, the figure reached about $24 billion.

This growth reflects rising demand for contracts tied to public events. Market participants use pricing to gauge implied probability levels. Brokers now respond by expanding access to such products.

Moomoo has continued to broaden its product suite in recent months. The company recently enabled direct crypto deposits and withdrawals. It also launched Moomoo API Skills to support AI-powered investment tools.

Through the Kalshi partnership, Moomoo adds event contracts to its existing ecosystem. The brokerage maintains that it will offer these products to eligible users. The company confirmed that the launch aligns with its broader platform expansion strategy.
