Moomoo US Set to Launch U.S. Prediction Markets Following Regulatory Approval

Moomoo US, Futu's overseas independent brand, is proud to announce that it has officially obtained regulatory approval from U.S. authorities to operate in Prediction Markets.

This milestone makes moomoo one of the first online brokerages to offer Event Contracts to retail users in the United States. This addition further expands the range of investment options available on moomoo platform and reflects our commitment to innovation for global investors while operating within established regulatory frameworks.

From "Trading Assets" to "Trading Events": Expanding Investment Access

Leveraging this licensing, moomoo plans to officially roll out Event Contract trading services to U.S. users soon. This new asset class will cover a diverse array of outcomes, including macroeconomic indicators, policy shifts, and global cultural milestones.

Unlike traditional stock or options trading, the core logic of Event Contracts is based on binary outcomes. This allows investors to transform their real-world knowledge into actionable investment positions, providing a powerful new tool for both directional trading and hedging alongside traditional equities and digital asset portfolios.

What are Event Contracts?

In simple terms, an Event Contract is a regulated derivative designed around the "outcome of an event." Instead of buying into a company’s earnings expectations, investors are "pricing" the probability of a specific occurrence.

Featured Event Contracts:

– Macroeconomic Insights: Will the Federal Reserve maintain or cut interest rates by 25 bps in June?

– Sports Expectations: Who will be the 2026 FIFA World Cup Champion? (e.g., Country A or Country B)

– Geopolitical Analysis: Will the Strait of Hormuz resume full transit before July 1st or August 1st?

These contracts are traded on investment platforms where users take a "Yes" or "No" position. Settlements are processed based on the definitive result once the event concludes.

Efficiency × User Experience: More Than Just a New Product

By expanding into the Event Contract category, moomoo aims to do more than just add a service; we seek to redefine the way investors interact with global news. Our goal is to allow macro trend and social headline to be transformed into a smooth, secure, and economically valuable investment tool—just like trading stocks.

– Unified Cash Buying Power: Powered by moomoo’s advanced trading infrastructure, idle cash in a user’s portfolio becomes active capital. Investors can utilize the consolidated cash buying power of their accounts to trade Event Contracts. This eliminates the friction of manual fund transfers between accounts, significantly enhancing capital efficiency.

– Tech-Driven Experience: Moomoo is bringing its intuitive app interface, user experience and real-time news feeds to the Prediction Market space. Users will enjoy seamless execution—from order entry to settlement—with the ability to track probabilities and implied volatility in real-time.

Navigating Key Market Dynamics in 2026

Previously, native prediction platforms pioneered this space but often faced hurdles regarding user accessibility and fragmented liquidity. By leveraging our professional-grade trading infrastructure and massive user base, moomoo is integrating this high-engagement sector into the global financial ecosystem.

As 2026 unfolds with significant global events—from the FIFA World Cup to shifting macroeconomic cycles—the expansion into Prediction Markets reflects a broader trend toward providing more diverse and sophisticated trading options for today’s retail investors.

Moomoo is currently finalizing the launch of its Prediction Market services. Specific product details, launch timelines, and available contract pairs will be announced in due course. Stay tuned!
