Moomoo partners with Kalshi to add CFTC-regulated event contracts

The retail trading platform will offer contracts tied to economic data, elections and major sporting events inside its app, expanding user access to regulated prediction-style markets.

Summary

Retail trading platform moomoo has partnered with Kalshi to bring CFTC-regulated event contracts (yes-or-no markets on future outcomes) directly into its app. The offering will let users trade contracts linked to economic data, elections and major sporting events. The tie-up broadens access to regulated event-based markets through a mainstream retail brokerage interface, a notable step as prediction-style products gain wider visibility in U.S. markets under oversight from the CFTC (U.S. derivatives regulator).
