Broadridge Integrates Kalshi Prediction Markets into CQG Multi-Asset Trading Platform

Broadridge has integrated Kalshi’s event contracts into its CQG trading platform and NYFIX network, marking a significant step in the institutional adoption of prediction markets. By embedding real-world event trading directly into established multi-asset workflows, the move allows institutional and retail investors to hedge macro risks and speculate on non-financial outcomes alongside traditional asset classes.

What was announced

Broadridge announced that Kalshi event contracts are now accessible through the front ends and APIs of CQG, a Broadridge company specializing in futures and options trading, execution management, and market connectivity. This integration extends to the NYFIX network, providing connectivity to over 1,700 buy-side clients. The partnership aims to bring prediction markets into the daily operations of brokers and futures commission merchants (FCMs), who can now offer direct trading access and market data to their clients through an established trading platform.

The functionality allows traders to manage event contract positions within the same environment used for traditional portfolio monitoring and risk management. This eliminates the need for separate infrastructure when trading on real-world events, such as economic indicators or political outcomes. Rather than treating prediction markets as a separate trading activity, investors can use their existing tools to monitor event contract positions within their wider trading portfolios and evaluate hedging opportunities across markets. The service is available to users in the United States and EMEA, subject to local jurisdictional and eligibility requirements. The launch expands Broadridge’s multi-asset trading offering while extending Kalshi’s reach among users of CQG technology, responding to growing demand for alternative trading instruments that provide precise exposure to non-market events.

The companies involved

Broadridge (NYSE: BR) is a global fintech leader that provides investor communications and technology-driven solutions for banks, broker-dealers, and asset managers. The firm has established a significant presence in market infrastructure, recently expanding its footprint in the digital and tokenized asset space. CQG, a Broadridge company, serves as a primary provider of high-performance trading technology, offering execution management and market connectivity for futures and options traders worldwide. Its tools are widely used by institutional participants for risk management and portfolio monitoring.

Kalshi operates a regulated marketplace for event contracts, allowing participants to trade on the outcome of real-world events. Unlike traditional derivatives that track financial indices, Kalshi’s contracts are tied to specific occurrences in politics, economics, and culture. The company has been at the forefront of the growing prediction market sector, seeking to bridge the gap between retail interest and institutional-grade trading environments. By partnering with Broadridge, Kalshi gains access to a vast network of institutional participants who rely on established connectivity providers like NYFIX for their daily trading operations and order routing.

What this means

This integration signals that prediction markets have moved beyond the experimental phase and are now being treated as a legitimate asset class by Tier-1 infrastructure providers. By placing Kalshi contracts alongside futures and options on CQG, Broadridge is forcing a convergence between traditional finance and event-based speculation. This puts pressure on traditional exchanges and data providers who have yet to offer direct event-trading capabilities. The move raises critical questions for the industry regarding capital efficiency: as these markets scale, will regulators and clearinghouses allow for cross-margining between event contracts and traditional derivatives? If so, the liquidity profile of prediction markets could transform overnight.
