Fintech broker Plus500 expands into US prediction markets with Kalshi deal

Feb 3 (Reuters) - Multi-asset trading platform Plus500 PLUSP.L said on Tuesday it had launched event-based prediction markets on its U.S. retail platform through a partnership with Kalshi.

The Plus500 Futures offering, in collaboration with the U.S-based prediction markets exchange, will enable retail customers to trade contracts on economic, financial, and geopolitical events through the federally regulated Kalshi Klear LLC.

Prediction markets, which saw $47  billion in global trading volume in 2025, let people buy and sell contracts on real-world outcomes, with prices shifting to reflect how likely the market thinks an event is to happen.

The launch marks Plus500's expansion into a rapidly growing segment of the trading landscape as prediction markets attract increasing interest from retail and institutional participants seeking regulated ways to bet on real-world outcomes.

Israel-based Plus500 announced its first foray into prediction markets in December last year, when it was appointed as clearing partner for CME Group and FanDuel's event-based contracts platform.
