Moomoo has partnered with Kalshi to offer event contracts directly inside its trading app. The products are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and cover economic data releases, election outcomes, and major sporting events.
What event contracts are
Event contracts are bets on binary outcomes. A user buys a contract that pays out if a specific event happens — say, the Federal Reserve raises rates in June or a particular candidate wins a primary. Kalshi has offered these through its own site since 2020. Now moomoo users can access them without leaving the brokerage interface.
Why regulated matters
Unlike offshore prediction markets that operate in a legal gray area, Kalshi’s contracts are CFTC-approved. That means the exchange must follow federal rules on market manipulation, customer fund segregation, and reporting. For moomoo’s user base — mostly retail traders used to stocks and options — that regulatory cloak could make event contracts feel less like gambling and more like trading.
What's covered
The contracts span three broad categories. Economic contracts track jobs reports, inflation prints, and central bank decisions. Election contracts cover presidential primaries and down-ballot races. Sports contracts focus on major events such as the Super Bowl and the World Series. Kalshi previously offered some of these products on its own platform; moomoo is now the first major brokerage to embed them directly.
How it works inside the app
The feature appears alongside equities, ETFs, and options. Users see contract prices for each possible outcome and can buy or sell before the event resolves. Settlement happens automatically once the result is verified by Kalshi’s oracle, which draws from government data feeds, election returns, or official sports league scores. Moomoo handles the custody and trade execution; Kalshi runs the event verification.
The feature is available directly within the moomoo app.
