Tradeweb Markets and Kalshi entered a partnership that aims to bring prediction markets and event contracts into the core workflows of institutional investors. Tradeweb has also taken a minority stake in Kalshi as part of the deal.

According to the global operator of electronic marketplaces, the collaboration combines Tradeweb’s electronic trading platform and global institutional client base with Kalshi’s event-driven markets and data.

Partnership and Investment

Tradeweb, which facilitates more than $2.6 trillion in average daily notional trading, plans to use its reach to expand institutional access to prediction market data and trading.

Tradeweb CEO Billy Hult said prediction markets are becoming part of the trading landscape and can help institutions assess macro risk and allocate capital.

The first stage of the partnership will focus on data. Tradeweb and Kalshi will integrate Kalshi’s real-time event probabilities and market data into Tradeweb’s rates and credit marketplaces.

The firms will also co-develop analytics that combine Kalshi’s event probabilities with Tradeweb’s pricing, liquidity, and macro data. The aim is to give institutional investors new tools for forecasting, risk management, and pricing that incorporate event-based signals, such as the probability of policy decisions or economic releases.

Event-Contract Trading Plans

Beyond data and analytics, Tradeweb and Kalshi will explore creating an institutional-focused portal for trading event contracts. Tradeweb would act as the front-end access point, while Kalshi would provide the underlying prediction markets platform.

The planned marketplace would focus on standardized event contracts linked to macroeconomic releases, Federal Reserve decisions, political elections, and other policy outcomes. The goal is to build infrastructure for event-contract trading that aligns with institutional standards on scale, regulation, and liquidity.
