5 terms

cftc-regulated regulatory

"through its partnership with Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated prediction market exchange"

CFTC-regulated means a trading firm, exchange, broker, or derivatives product is overseen by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the federal agency that sets rules for futures, options and certain swaps. Think of it like a referee enforcing rules and record-keeping: regulation requires transparency, financial safeguards and reporting that help reduce fraud and operational risk, giving investors clearer information and legal protections when trading regulated derivatives.

prediction markets financial

"Webull's prediction markets allow users to trade on how they think events will unfold"

Prediction markets are exchanges where people buy and sell contracts that pay out based on the outcome of a future event, effectively turning collective beliefs into a price that reflects the market’s estimated probability. Like a sports betting line or a crowd-sourced weather forecast, they aggregate diverse information and sentiment into a single, continuously updated signal that investors can use to gauge market expectations, inform timing, assess risk, or construct hedges.

event contracts financial

"offers sports prediction markets through its partnership with Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated prediction market exchange. Webull gives users access to event contracts across sports"

Contracts whose payment or settlement depends solely on whether a specific, predefined event happens or not — for example a drug approval, a corporate takeover, a loan default, or a weather disaster. Think of them like a focused bet or insurance policy: investors can use them to take a targeted position, hedge exposure, or speculate on an outcome without owning the underlying company, and their results can rapidly change an investor’s gains, losses and risk profile when the event occurs.

market-implied probabilities technical

"allowing them to trade on market-implied probabilities for major live events"

Market-implied probabilities are chances extracted from current prices of traded securities or derivatives that reflect the collective expectations investors have about future events or outcomes (for example, price moves, earnings surprises, or policy decisions). They matter because they convert market prices into a simple forecast—like reading betting odds—helping investors judge whether a possible outcome is already priced in and decide if an asset looks under- or overvalued relative to their own view.

exchange fees financial

"trade Big Game and related contracts with $0 commission (exchange fees apply)"

Exchange fees are the costs charged by the marketplace where stocks, bonds, or other securities are bought and sold, similar to a toll you pay to use a road. They matter to investors because they add to the total cost of trading and can reduce investment returns, influence how often or how much someone trades, and affect the practical profitability of short-term strategies. Small, repeated fees can meaningfully change outcomes over time.

Regulated event contracts let users trade on market-implied probabilities 
for the big game

NEW YORK, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Webull (NASDAQ: BULL), an online investment platform, offers sports prediction markets through its partnership with Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated prediction market exchange. Webull gives users access to event contracts across sports, economic indicators, cryptocurrency, and other markets, including the Big Game, allowing them to trade on market-implied probabilities for major live events.

Webull's prediction markets allow users to trade on how they think events will unfold, turning opinions about real world outcomes into potential profits. Prediction markets reflect real time reactions as new information emerges, enabling users to buy and sell contracts tied to possible results as prices change with shifting probabilities. Since the rollout in Q3 2025, Webull has seen significant quarter-over-quarter growth in prediction market trading.

"Sports prediction markets represent a natural extension of how our users already interact with markets," said Anthony Denier, Group President & U.S. CEO at Webull. "Users can now access regulated event-based markets in a way that feels intuitive to investors who already understand how prices reflect probabilities." 

Users can buy and sell positions at any time to change their mind or lock in gains before an event ends. Unlike traditional sports bets, prediction markets use probability trading and market-driven pricing, letting users follow sentiment shifts, trade Big Game and related contracts with $0 commission (exchange fees apply), and participate in community features that show aggregated market sentiment and enable discussions on the platform.

Users can access available sports event contracts through Webull's Prediction Market Hub, which serves as the central destination for all prediction markets and related disclosures. For users looking to better understand how prediction markets work, Webull provides comprehensive educational resources, outlining product mechanics, terminologies, and important considerations through the dedicated Predict 101 Help Center.

This expansion further establishes Webull's presence in the growing category of event-driven markets, reinforcing its focus on interactive, market-based experiences grounded in real-time information.
