Interactive Brokers launches unified interface for prediction markets

Interactive Brokers (IBKR) announced the launch of a unified interface for trading prediction markets across three US prediction market platforms – Kalshi, CME Group (CME), and ForecastEx. IBKR’s Prediction Markets offering enables investors to access and trade contracts across all three prediction market exchanges from a single platform, alongside a broad range of asset classes including stocks, options, forex, futures, crypto, and bonds. The company said, “Clients of Interactive Brokers can now access the combined liquidity of all three prediction market venues and receive the best available net price. IBKR’s Prediction Markets platform aggregates similar contracts from all connected prediction market exchanges into one searchable interface. An intelligent order UI helps clients view liquidity across markets and automatically selects the destination with the best net price – all without the need to open or fund separate accounts at each exchange. IBKR’s Prediction Markets platform is fully integrated within the Interactive Brokers trading environment clients already use, enabling seamless management of prediction market positions alongside existing portfolios with consolidated reporting and real-time position tracking. Clients can view real-time liquidity and compare prices and fees across venues all on one trading screen and even within an order ticket, allowing clients to route orders to the most favorable venue the moment prediction market probabilities shift – all without moving capital between accounts. IBKR’s Prediction Markets will initially focus on election outcomes, climate events, and economic indicators.”
