The trading platform Robinhood has stated that prediction markets have become one of its fastest-growing product lines, and it is now preparing to expand its business through futures and derivatives exchanges and clearinghouses.
Robinhood announced on Tuesday that since launching its prediction market in partnership with the prediction market platform Kalshi in March, over 1 million users have traded 9 billion contracts.
JB Mackenzie, General Manager of Robinhood Futures and International Business, stated that the platform "has seen strong customer demand for prediction markets, and we are excited to build on this momentum."
Robinhood also plans to increase its investment in prediction markets through futures and derivatives exchanges and clearinghouses to deepen its investment in this area.
Mackenzie added, "Our investments in infrastructure will enable us to provide a better experience and more innovative products for our customers."
The exchange will be led by Robinhood as the controlling partner and market maker, with Susquehanna International Group serving as the initial liquidity provider.
As part of this joint venture, Robinhood will also acquire MIAXdx, a derivatives clearing organization and swap execution facility licensed by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Robinhood stated that the derivatives exchange is expected to begin operations in 2026.
