Moomoo has partnered with prediction market operator Kalshi to offer event contracts on its platform, giving eligible users access to trading on real-world outcomes. The move allows users to take positions on economic, political and cultural events within a regulated framework overseen by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Access event-based contracts
The new offering allows users to buy and sell contracts linked to specific outcomes such as Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, inflation data releases, elections, and global events including the 2026 World Cup. These contracts act as exchange-listed derivatives, with prices ranging from 0.01 to 1.00.
According to the announcement, Moomoo has integrated contracts directly into its trading platform. Users can access it along with other instruments such as stocks, ETFs, and options. Contracts are fully collateralized, meaning that the maximum possible loss is determined at the time of trading.
Kalci said the partnership will expand participation in prediction markets. “Prediction markets are built from the wisdom of the crowd,” said Valeria Voteraku, a consultant at Calci. “Integrating with moomoo to expand investor reach will make the audience larger.”
Expand your product offering
The launch reflects growing interest in event-driven trading, as retail investors look for new ways to engage with market-moving developments. Economic data, political decisions, and elections often affect asset prices, and event contracts provide a structured way to trade these outcomes.
Moomoo has continued to expand its product ecosystem in recent months. The company recently introduced cryptocurrency deposit and withdrawal features, allowing transfers between external wallets and user accounts. It has also introduced API tools designed to support automated trading strategies.
Many other large retail trading platforms have moved to forecast-based or event-driven products, which puts them in a similar strategy category to Moomoo. Robinhood has been cited as part of the retail brokerage’s “broader push into prediction markets,” due to its interest in allowing users to trade around real-world events.
Pushing retail into prediction markets
However, its products are regulated differently than Kalshi’s CFTC-listed event contracts. Webull was also mentioned among the brokerage firms Exploring or piloting access to prediction markets, suggesting that they follow a similar product trend targeting retailers.
Although Coinbase is primarily a cryptocurrency exchange and not a traditional broker, it has been lumped in alongside Robinhood and Webull as a major retail platform experimenting with prediction markets.
Within this landscape, Moomoo’s integration with Kalshi stands out because it brings fully CFTC-regulated exchange-listed event contracts directly to a multi-asset brokerage interface. Users can access these contracts along with stocks, ETFs, and options in a single platform, which is not yet a standard implementation across all of its peers.
In addition, Momo It recently launched a new tool that allows individual investors to connect its AI agents directly to its trading platform, marking its entry into the growing “dealer investing” segment led by competitors like eToro and Robinhood.
The feature, branded moomoo API Skills, translates plain English trading instructions into executable orders across major markets including the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan, with the aim of lowering the technical barriers traditionally associated with algorithmic trading.
