What are event contracts?
Event contracts are exchange-listed derivatives with prices ranging from $0.01 to $1 that represent the market's implied probability of an event occurring. They're fully collateralized and settle based on real-world outcomes. The partnership gives Moomoo users access to contracts linked to Federal Reserve interest-rate decisions, inflation data releases, elections and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The prediction market boom
Prediction markets have exploded in popularity since the 2024 U.S. election, evolving from a niche forecasting tool into a fast-growing corner of the retail trading market. Kalshi has emerged as the dominant U.S. prediction market platform. Volume tells the story. Combined monthly volume on Kalshi and Polymarket climbed from under $5 billion in September 2025 to about $24 billion by April 2026.
The expansion reflects Moomoo's broader push into new asset classes. The company recently introduced direct crypto deposits and withdrawals and launched moomoo API Skills, a feature designed for developers building on the platform.
"Our focus is on providing investors with both access and understanding. Through event contracts and supporting educational resources, we're giving users additional tools to analyze and engage with significant real-world events." — Nate Palmer, president of Moomoo U.S.
