Alpaca partners with Kalshi to offer CFTC-regulated event contracts on its brokerage platform.
Regulation & Gov ·
Alpaca, a retail brokerage platform, has partnered with Kalshi to offer event-linked contracts regulated by the CFTC directly within Alpaca's trading interface. The integration makes Kalshi's prediction market products accessible to Alpaca's user base as part of an expansion of available trading instruments on the platform.
Kalshi operates as a designated contract market under CFTC oversight, enabling traders to buy and sell contracts tied to real-world events across categories including sports, elections, macro data, and crypto. The partnership represents one of several recent moves to expand the reach of regulated event contracts into mainstream brokerage channels, as platforms compete to capture share of the prediction market opportunity.
The announcement does not specify a launch date, financial terms, or which specific Kalshi products will be made available through Alpaca first. Regulatory scrutiny of prediction markets remains active, with bipartisan congressional attention and CFTC rule-making efforts ongoing.
