Retail traders may soon find it easier to trade on real-world outcomes, from elections to inflation data, next to stocks and ETFs. DriveWealth and Kalshi have announced plans to integrate prediction markets into the same investment experience that already hosts traditional assets.
The partnership will allow DriveWealth’s global network of partners to embed Kalshi’s event contracts directly within their trading platforms. This means investors could soon speculate on or hedge against macroeconomic events without leaving their existing brokerage accounts.
DriveWealth expects the integration to merge Kalshi’s event-driven products with its API-first infrastructure, creating a single, compliant ecosystem for a new generation of traders.

Naureen Hassan, CEO of DriveWealth, said the move reinforces the company’s focus on scalable technology. “Our integration with Kalshi strengthens our ability to deliver cutting-edge market opportunities to our partners,” she said, adding that Kalshi’s approach to market design aligns with DriveWealth’s long-term vision of powering global access to modern financial instruments.

Kalshi operates a regulated exchange where participants can trade contracts tied to real-world outcomes such as economic releases, weather events, or political developments.
The company has already reached an annualized trading volume exceeding $100 billion. By linking with DriveWealth’s embedded brokerage network, Kalshi gains expanded reach to fintech platforms and retail investors worldwide.
A Step Toward Diversified Investment Platform
“DriveWealth’s global reach and embedded brokerage infrastructure make them an ideal partner,” said Kalshi co-founder and CEO Tarek Mansour. “Our goal is to provide leading fintech platforms with more access to regulated prediction markets.”
Meanwhile, The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Enforcement Division recently renewed its warning against insider trading in prediction markets following two enforcement actions that revealed individuals exploiting privileged information on KalshiEX.
In an official advisory, the regulator reminded traders and designated contract markets (DCMs) that insider trading and fraudulent activity fall squarely under federal oversight.
The commission’s Chair Michael Selig earlier stepped up a dispute over who regulates prediction markets, instructing the agency to get involved in ongoing court cases and insisting that event contracts fall under the federal derivatives regulator’s authority, not the states’.
