Robinhood Doubles Down on Prediction Markets Expansion In a blog post published today, the exchange announced plans to expand its prediction markets with a dedicated futures and derivatives exchange.

Additional liquidity partners will be added in due course to boost its market depth. This step shows the company’s growth in the prediction markets. Users traded over nine billion contracts alone in its first year of service, involving over one million customers. The new exchange will also trade with other futures commission merchants. It plans to start operations in 2026. The company is seeing “strong customer demand” for its prediction based products, according to JB Mackenzie, Vice President at the firm. “Robinhood sees strong customer demand for prediction markets, and we’re excited to build on that momentum,” he said. “Our investment in infrastructure will position us to deliver an even better experience and more innovative products for customers.” The company posted net income of $556 million for Q3. This is more than triple the previous year’s figure. Meanwhile, total revenue hit a record $1.27 billion. This is inclusive of about $25 million from market activity through its partnership with Kalshi. Kalshi itself recently partnered with Coinbase. The exchange will handle USDC custody and settlement for its platform. Robinhood has also expanded the kinds of event contracts that can be traded on its app. This includes political, entertainment, and technology-related markets.
