- Robinhood acquires 90% of MIAXdx to launch a CFTC-regulated futures/derivatives exchange by 2026, expanding into prediction markets. - The platform reported $9B in prediction market contracts traded by 1M+ users since March 2025, driven by partnerships like Kalshi. - Industry-wide growth sees Kalshi ($4.47B 30-day volume) and Polymarket ($3.58B) competing with crypto-based prediction platforms. - Robinhood aims to democratize speculative trading through fully collateralized products, leveraging MIAXdx's

Robinhood Markets Inc. plans to introduce a futures and derivatives exchange in 2026, representing a major step into the prediction markets sector, which is quickly gaining traction within the financial industry. This initiative comes after Robinhood acquired MIAX Derivatives Exchange (MIAXdx), a derivatives clearing organization and swap execution facility regulated by the CFTC, from

Miami International

Holdings. As outlined in the deal,

Robinhood

will own 90% of MIAXdx, while Miami International will keep a 10% share, and Susquehanna International Group will act as the initial liquidity provider. The acquisition, anticipated to finalize in early 2026,

supports Robinhood's goal

of strengthening its presence in prediction markets, which have rapidly become a significant source of revenue for the company.

Since partnering with Kalshi to launch its prediction markets in March 2025, Robinhood has facilitated the trading of over nine billion contracts by more than a million users. JB Mackenzie, the platform’s general manager for futures and international,

pointed to robust user interest

in these products, noting that Robinhood intends to use its infrastructure investments to improve the user experience and roll out new features. With the derivatives exchange, Robinhood will

be able to provide

fully collateralized futures, options on futures, and swaps, utilizing MIAXdx’s CFTC regulatory clearances.

The growing enthusiasm for prediction markets is apparent across the sector, with platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket posting impressive trading figures. Kalshi, which operates under CFTC oversight,

announced $4.47 billion

in trading volume over 30 days as of late 2025, while Polymarket, a crypto-focused rival, reached $3.58 billion in the same timeframe. Robinhood’s move into this arena comes as other crypto exchanges broaden their services, including Crypto.com’s collaboration with Trump Media and Gemini’s development of a “super app” that will feature prediction markets.

Leaked information

, suggests Coinbase is also working internally on a comparable platform.

This expansion highlights a trend where both traditional and crypto-based platforms are leveraging prediction markets to open up speculative trading to a wider audience. By 2026, Robinhood aims to establish itself as a leading force in this field, with the MIAXdx acquisition giving it the regulatory and operational support needed to pursue its growth plans.

As Mackenzie emphasized

, investing in infrastructure will allow Robinhood to “offer an even more enhanced experience” for its users, helping the company compete with established firms and draw new traders into the evolving market.
