Broadridge is bringing Kalshi event contracts into CQG, allowing retail and institutional investors to trade event outcomes on the same screens and through the same software connections used for other assets. The addition also places those prediction-market positions within CQG's risk and portfolio tools, so traders can track them alongside the rest of a book.
Through the CQG-NYFIX link, the contracts also reach participants on the NYFIX network, including more than 1,700 buy-side clients that use it for connectivity. Access targets the United States and EMEA, with availability still tied to local eligibility and jurisdictional rules.
NYFIX access to more than 1,700 buy-side clients turns event contracts from a side venue into something brokers can add to existing order flow. Trading through CQG in the United States and EMEA widens the category's reach by using infrastructure desks already trusted and by folding prediction markets into routine hedging work.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Embedded Event Trading
- Prediction contracts integrated into familiar trading screens create room for new financial products that sit beside equities, futures, and other portfolio instruments.
- Portfolio-aware Prediction Markets
- Risk and portfolio tools that include event-based positions make outcome trading more compatible with institutional hedging, compliance, and exposure management.
- Network-driven Market Access
- Large connectivity networks can accelerate niche asset adoption by distributing emerging contract types through existing broker and buy-side workflows.
Sectors Adopting This
- Financial Technology
- Trading software providers are positioned to differentiate by embedding alternative asset classes into established execution, risk, and connectivity platforms.
- Capital Markets
- Institutional desks may gain new ways to price political, economic, and event-driven uncertainty as prediction markets become part of standard order flow.
- Brokerage Services
- Brokers connected to major execution networks can expand client offerings by routing regulated event contracts through infrastructure already used for conventional assets.
