Moomoo launches event contracts through Kalshi partnership after US regulatory approval
Retail brokerage platform Moomoo has partnered with regulated prediction market operator Kalshi to offer CFTC-regulated event contracts, integrating Kalshi's contracts directly within the Moomoo app. The partnership, announced June 4, 2026, gives Moomoo's user base access to Kalshi's Commodity Futures Trading Commission-supervised prediction-market infrastructure without requiring users to download a standalone prediction market app. Moomoo framed the launch as a feature called Event Contracts, positioning it as a tool for users to trade on opinions to inform investment decisions and accompanying it with a community rewards program offering points for topic discussion participation. The deal reflects broader competitive pressure among prediction market platforms to secure brokerage and fintech distribution partners to reach retail investors. Available contracts cover economics, sports, jobs and the economy, inflation, oil and energy, the Fed, global central banks, and housing.
Kalshi gains distribution through a brokerage with existing retail reach, pressuring standalone prediction-market apps like Polymarket to secure similar fintech partnerships or lose retail user acquisition to embedded models. The CFTC-regulated structure may also set the template for how other brokerages seek compliance cover when launching comparable products.
