- DriveWealth runs a business-to-business brokerage platform
- It’s integrating event contracts from Kalshi so that its users can offer these derivatives to their clients
The prediction market giant Kalshi has partnered with brokerage firm DriveWealth to introduce Kalshi event contracts on the financial technology company’s platform.
DriveWealth does not directly engage with traders; instead, it operates a brokerage-as-a-service platform tailored for B2B transactions. Through its collaboration with Kalshi, DriveWealth aims to introduce an API-centric brokerage system, enabling its clients to offer event contracts alongside traditional assets like stocks and ETFs.
“As retail and digitally-oriented investors increasingly seek innovative ways to express macro views and manage risk, prediction markets are emerging as a valuable asset class,” noted a press release. “This partnership aims to merge DriveWealth’s extensive distribution network and scalable brokerage capabilities with Kalshi’s expertise in prediction markets, broadening compliant access for users.”
The financial details of this agreement remain undisclosed.
Kalshi Expanding Its Network of Broker Partners
The announcement of the partnership with DriveWealth follows Kalshi’s recent collaboration with Tradeweb Markets (NASDAQ: TW), a leading electronic marketplace for credit, equity, and interest rate derivatives.
Under this new arrangement, Kalshi’s market data will be displayed on multiple Tradeweb platforms. Additionally, there will be an enhancement of functionality, facilitated by Kalshi, that integrates prediction market trading directly into Tradeweb’s offerings.
In relation to DriveWealth, the financial technology company stands to gain from its association with Kalshi, especially at a time when event contracts are beginning to make an entrance in professional trading circles.
“By directly incorporating these contracts into digital investment platforms, DriveWealth partners will be equipped to provide their clients with unique tools for portfolio diversification and effective risk management, all while maintaining compliance and operational efficiency within the existing brokerage framework,” stated the announcement.
Importance of the DriveWealth and Kalshi Collaboration
While Kalshi and its competitors in the prediction market sector frequently announce new partnerships, collaborations with firms like DriveWealth and Tradeweb are particularly significant. Such alliances are essential for efforts to expand beyond the limitations of sports derivatives.
Although estimates vary, it is generally accepted that sports event contracts comprise approximately 80% to 90% of the volume on U.S. prediction markets. Experts suggest that for the industry to sustain long-term growth, it must explore expansion opportunities and diversify use cases. The financial sector, especially the trading community, is regarded as promising ground for achieving these goals.
DriveWealth customers may find the Kalshi integration beneficial, as offering event contracts could enhance their competitiveness in the “super app” landscape dominated by platforms such as Coinbase and Robinhood.
“Kalshi’s exchange allows users to bet on the outcomes of real-world events, like elections, economic indicators, weather, sports, and more, all within a fully regulated environment. The platform has rapidly gained traction, now attracting over $100 billion in annualized volume,” concluded the statement.
