The new offering includes products from Kalshi Exchange, the first regulated event-based contracts exchange in the US.

Plus500 noted that prediction markets are attracting increasing interest from both retail and institutional participants, "reflecting their growing relevance as a transparent and fully regulated way to express views on real-world outcomes".

"The launch of prediction markets on Plus500's US B2C platform, 'Plus500 Futures', marks a pivotal moment for the group as it expands into a rapidly developing segment within the global trading landscape," it said.

The company said the introduction of prediction markets aligns with its continued focus on "technological innovation, customer-centric approach and product development".

Through the new offering, Plus500's B2C customers in the US can access a broad range of regulated prediction markets covering economic indicators, financial events, geopolitical developments and other measurable real-world outcomes.

The offering is being delivered via Kalshi and cleared directly by the group, using its full clearing membership with Kalshi Klear.

"This launch represents an exciting expansion into a new and increasingly relevant segment of the global trading landscape, supported by a strong regulatory framework through collaboration with Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated exchange," said Plus500.
