Prediction markets have gone mainstream in 2026, with regulated event contracts and blockchain-based platforms both drawing serious volume. Here's where to trade them.
Ranked by regulation, liquidity, and market breadth.
Kalshi is the CFTC-designated exchange with the broadest U.S. footprint, instant deposits, fast withdrawals, and the largest catalog of sports and event markets.
A blockchain-based platform trading event contracts in USDC on Polygon, Polymarket built its reputation — and its liquidity — on the biggest political and cultural events.
A lower-stakes alternative for traders who want to test forecasting skill without real-money risk before moving to Kalshi or Polymarket.
Robinhood added event contracts directly into its mainstream brokerage app in 2025, covering sports, politics, weather, and economic indicators through its CFTC-regulated exchange partners.
