Robinhood Advances into Regulated Prediction Markets with CFTC-Licensed Platform
Robinhood is making a strategic pivot into futures and derivatives trading through a new CFTC-regulated exchange venture, developed in partnership with Susquehanna International Group. The platform, set to launch in 2026, will acquire MIAXdx's licensed infrastructure—including a designated contract market and clearinghouse—from Miami International Holdings, which retains a 10% stake.
Prediction markets have emerged as Robinhood's fastest-growing revenue segment, with over 1 million users trading 9 billion contracts. The MOVE signals the company's ambition to evolve from retail brokerage to market infrastructure player, capitalizing on surging demand for speculative instruments.
