Alpaca Partners with Kalshi to Expand Prediction Market Access Through Its Global Brokerage Infrastructure

Alpaca plans to add CFTC-regulated event contracts to its global brokerage infrastructure through a partnership with prediction-market exchange Kalshi, following Alpaca Derivatives LLC’s registration as a CFTC Futures Commission Merchant and NFA member. Alpaca will manage customer custody, funds transfers, statements, and accounts, while Kalshi will operate the marketplace, supply contracts on real-world outcomes, and provide clearing services. The integration is intended to let developers access prediction markets through Alpaca’s existing APIs for orders, positions, activity, and market data alongside stocks, options, fixed income, and crypto, with 24/7 trading and automated settlement. Alpaca cites growing demand and trading volume in prediction markets, while noting that availability will depend on listed markets, regulatory rules, and geographic eligibility, and that event contracts carry risks including total loss, volatility, limited liquidity, and delayed or disputed settlement.
