Retail trading platform moomoo has partnered with prediction market operator Kalshi to begin offering event contract trading to qualified users within the app. These products are regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), allowing users to establish positions based on macroeconomic data, election results, and the outcomes of major sporting events.
Tradable events cover interest rates and elections
According to the company's disclosure, the newly launched contracts cover events such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions, inflation data releases, election results, and the 2026 World Cup. These products can be traded directly on moomoo's existing brokerage platform, displayed alongside stocks, options, and ETFs.
Event contracts are essentially exchange-listed derivatives priced around the probability of a particular outcome occurring. A single contract typically costs between $0.01 and $1, reflecting the market's assessment of the probability of the event. The report mentions that these contracts use a fully guaranteed model.
Predicting continued expansion of market trading volume
Recently, platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket have expanded their business from political events to sports, macroeconomic data, and cultural events. CoinDesk, citing data, reports that the combined monthly trading volume of the two platforms has increased from less than $5 billion in September 2025 to approximately $24 billion in April 2026, indicating a significant rise in participation in event-driven markets.
Kalshi has become one of the leading platforms in the US prediction market. With this integration, moomoo also joins the ranks of platforms offering event-driven trading products to retail investors.
moomoo continues to expand its alternative trading products
This collaboration also reflects moomoo's expansion of its product range. The report mentions that the company had previously launched direct deposit and withdrawal functionality for crypto assets and introduced moomoo API Skills, supporting integration with AI-driven investment tools.
Nate Palmer, president of moomoo's US operations, said the company hopes to provide more understanding and analysis tools along with trading access, enabling users to make judgments and trade around important real-world events.
