Interactive Brokers Unifies Access to Prediction Markets Across Kalshi, CME and ForecastEx

The move signals prediction markets are entering mainstream brokerage workflows.

Overview

  • Interactive Brokers, which launched the feature Thursday, now lets clients see and trade event contracts from Kalshi, CME Group and ForecastEx in one place.
  • The platform scans quotes across connected venues and uses automated routing to execute at the best net price after fees.
  • Early listings focus on binary yes-or-no contracts tied to elections, climate events and economic indicators, with sports and pop culture excluded.
  • Kalshi reports an eightfold jump in institutional activity over the past six months and has added block trading to handle large negotiated orders.
  • Access is live for eligible clients with contracts added on a rolling basis by jurisdiction, and the broker plans more exchange links as the CFTC works on formal rules signaled in March 2026.
