Interactive Brokers will unify Kalshi, CME, and ForecastEx on a single platform - ForkLog: cryptocurrencies, AI, singularity, the future
The brokerage firm Interactive Brokers (IBKR) has launched a platform for trading event outcome contracts. The platform combines offerings from Kalshi, CME Group, and its own service — ForecastEx.
The new tool is available to both retail and institutional clients. Users can trade contracts related to the economy, climate, and political elections. The company currently does not plan to add contracts on sports and pop culture.
The application’s interface allows comparing prices across different platforms and choosing the most profitable options considering commissions.
Kalshi co-founder and CEO Tarek Mansour called IBKR the “gold standard” in the brokerage industry. According to him, institutional adoption of prediction markets is just beginning.
CME Group President Terry Duffy noted the increase in retail demand for such instruments. Through the IBKR platform, CME clients will be able to trade contracts on key economic indicators.
The service launch occurred amid the growing popularity of prediction markets. Previously, Kalshi raised $1 billion with a valuation of $22 billion. Polymarket is negotiating to raise $400 million — if successful, the company will be valued at $15 billion.
Recall that in April, Bernstein analysts predicted prediction markets to grow to $1 trillion.
