Robinhood confirmed the launch of a new CFTC-licensed exchange, according to an official announcement. The platform will operate as a regulated venue for futures and derivatives, with a roadmap that includes event-driven prediction markets tied to real-world outcomes.
The exchange will feature its own clearinghouse and run separately from Robinhood’s retail app, but it targets users seeking regulated access to crypto-aligned markets. Recent filings indicate that prediction markets are among Robinhood’s fastest-growing business segments, driven by interest in tradable events linked to elections, sports, macroeconomic data, and blockchain metrics. Analysts note that this sector is expanding as traders increasingly treat “outcomes” as a new asset class.
Robinhood stated that additional event futures require CFTC approval before listing. The company expects a broader rollout through 2026, and industry observers are watching potential support for tokenized settlement or on-chain data oracles in future market infrastructure.
