Traditional broker + compliance prediction contracts, after launching in the summer, are expected to attract another wave of new users. Curious to see what tricks Canadian retail investors will come up with using these 4,000 event contracts.

According to The Globe and Mail, Toronto-based online financial services platform Wealthsimple announced a partnership with the U.S. prediction market Kalshi. Wealthsimple plans to launch an independent mobile app called "Wealthsimple Predict" later this summer, providing Canadian retail investors access to nearly 4,000 event contracts on the Kalshi platform, allowing users to bet on the outcomes of real-world events. Previously, Wealthsimple had received approval from the Canadian Investment Industry Regulatory Organization (CIRO) in March 2026 to offer prediction contracts.
