TL;DR:
- Kalshi, the world’s largest prediction market, partners with DriveWealth to integrate event contracts into its brokerage-as-a-service infrastructure.
- The integration will allow DriveWealth partners to offer event contracts alongside stocks, ETFs and other traditional assets on a single platform.
- The alliance aims to distribute regulated prediction markets at global scale through brokerage infrastructure.
Kalshi, the world’s largest regulated prediction market, announced a partnership with DriveWealth, a global Brokerage-as-a-Service platform, with the goal of integrating event contracts into DriveWealth’s brokerage infrastructure and expanding access to this type of financial instrument on a global scale.
Under the agreement, DriveWealth partners will be able to incorporate Kalshi contracts directly into their investment applications, alongside stocks, ETFs and other conventional assets. The integration runs on DriveWealth’s API-first architecture, allowing fintech firms and financial entities to distribute prediction market products without building parallel systems or undergoing large-scale operational restructuring.
Kalshi reports having surpassed $100 billion in annualized volume. Its platform allows users to trade on the outcome of real-world events, including elections, economic indicators, weather phenomena and sports results.
Shared Infrastructure for Emerging Markets
Naureen Hassan, CEO of DriveWealth, described the alliance as a natural extension of the company’s strategy to improve market accessibility through scalable technology. For his part, Tarek Mansour, co-founder and CEO of Kalshi, noted that DriveWealth’s global reach and embedded infrastructure were determining factors in choosing it as a strategic partner.
The integration is designed so that prediction contracts coexist with traditional financial instruments within a single brokerage interface. This reduces operational complexity for partners and offers end users tools to manage risk or take positions on macroeconomic events and matters of public relevance.
Kalshi Enters New Markets
This integration is anchored to a trend already common in the fintech industry, which is moving toward the consolidation of different asset classes within unified user experiences. As demand for differentiated products grows among retail investors and digital platforms, the ability to incorporate alternative market structures has become a necessary competitive advantage to sustain growth.
DriveWealth and Kalshi are a clear example of how financial infrastructure providers and regulated market platforms are advancing together toward greater democratization of access to non-conventional investment instruments.
