Moomoo Expands Into Prediction Markets Through Strategic Kalshi Partnership - Crypto Economy

TL;DR:

• Moomoo partnered with Kalshi to offer eligible users CFTC-regulated prediction market contracts directly inside its app.
• The contracts cover Federal Reserve decisions, inflation releases, elections and major sporting events, with prices from $0.01 to $1 reflecting implied probabilities.
• The launch extends Moomoo’s broader product push after crypto deposits, withdrawals and API Skills, while prediction market volumes have grown sharply since the 2024 U.S. election among retail users.

Moomoo is moving deeper into event-driven trading through a partnership with Kalshi, giving eligible users access to CFTC-regulated prediction market contracts inside its app. The brokerage is not adding another asset tab. It is letting retail traders price real-world outcomes alongside equities, options and ETFs. The striking shift is that prediction markets are entering the brokerage interface, turning questions about rates, inflation, elections and sports into tradable contracts on a mainstream investing platform.

Event contracts move closer to retail portfolios

The new offering covers contracts tied to Federal Reserve interest-rate decisions, inflation data releases, elections and sporting events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Event contracts are exchange-listed derivatives that let traders take positions on whether a defined outcome will occur. Prices range from $0.01 to $1 and reflect the market’s implied probability of that outcome. The appeal is simple but slippery, because a contract can look like a forecast, behave like a trade and still carry the emotional pull of a bet.


Moomoo said the contracts are fully collateralized and integrated alongside its existing products, which matters for a platform broadening beyond traditional stocks. Nate Palmer, president of Moomoo U.S., framed the launch around both access and understanding, saying event contracts and educational resources give users more tools to analyze real-world events. The product depends on education as much as access, because prediction markets can compress macro analysis, political expectations and sports outcomes into prices that move quickly.

The timing explains the urgency. Prediction markets have grown sharply since the 2024 U.S. election, expanding from a niche forecasting tool into a fast-growing retail trading category. Kalshi and Polymarket have pushed beyond politics into sports, economic data and cultural events, with combined monthly volume on the two largest platforms rising from under $5 billion in September 2025 to about $24 billion by April 2026. Moomoo is joining before the category fully settles, while rules, user behavior and product design are still evolving. The partnership also fits Moomoo’s broader expansion, following direct crypto deposits and withdrawals and moomoo API Skills for AI-powered investing tools. For users, the promise is convenient access to event markets. The question is whether convenience makes these contracts clearer, or simply makes speculative outcomes easier to trade directly.
