Cantor Fitzgerald has launched a prediction-market trading service for institutional investors, starting with CFTC-regulated event contracts on Kalshi and planning to add more venues over time. The firm is extending the institutional trading model it built in equities and fixed income to regulated prediction markets, offering access to block trades for roughly 3,000 clients including hedge funds and family offices. Cantor will act as introducing broker while Susquehanna Predictions provides pricing and liquidity. Executives have said prediction markets are growing quickly, but institutional investors have lacked a scalable way to trade on regulated exchanges. The rollout comes as Wall Street firms push deeper into event-driven contracts after retail activity surged during the 2024 U.S. presidential election, and Bernstein said in April the sector could reach $1 trillion in annual trading volume by the end of the decade.
