\"Clear<\/p>\n

HedgeCo.Net \u2014 Clear Street and Marex Group are preparing to give institutional clients access to Kalshi’s prediction markets, as hedge fund demand pushes event contracts further into mainstream trading infrastructure, Bloomberg reported. Clear Street expects to begin clearing Kalshi trades in late March, and Marex plans to introduce access in the months that follow.<\/p>\n

Thomas Texier, Marex’s head of clearing, said that large hedge funds had approached the firm in recent weeks asking for access to the markets. Marex has separately announced that it cleared its first institutional event contract transaction on Kalshi for a large financial institution, acting as clearing member between the client and the exchange. The firm is also exploring the use of event contracts to hedge exposures in its own structured products.<\/p>\n

Kalshi is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as a designated contract market, and lists contracts tied to economic releases, commodity prices, political outcomes and other events. Clear Street became the first institutional futures commission merchant to join Kalshi’s exchange and clearing house in May. Kalshi chief executive Tarek Mansour has said he expects institutional participation to accelerate.<\/p>\n

Regulatory uncertainty remains the main obstacle. State regulators have challenged prediction market operators under gambling laws, and questions about insider trading and the treatment of event contracts have prompted calls for clearer rules. The CFTC has asserted primary jurisdiction, while the Securities and Exchange Commission has also signaled interest, and executives at Nasdaq and CME Group have called for more clarity.<\/p>\n

For hedge funds, routing event contracts through existing prime brokerage and clearing relationships would remove a practical barrier to using them for hedging political and macro event risk. Whether that becomes meaningful volume will depend on liquidity in the order books and on how the jurisdictional questions are resolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
