Plus500 Ltd saw its London-listed shares rise 7.5% on Tuesday after the fintech company unveiled a new product line for U.S. retail customers: event-based contracts available on its U.S. B2C platform, Plus500 Futures.
The company said the new offering will include products from Kalshi Exchange, identified as the first regulated venue for event-based contracts in the United States. Through this expansion, Plus500’s U.S. customer base will be able to trade regulated prediction-market contracts tied to economic indicators, financial events, geopolitical developments and other measurable real-world outcomes.
Plus500 framed the launch as a diversification of its product set into a segment that the company says is expanding within the wider trading industry. It plans to support the new business line using its proprietary technology, clearing memberships and existing risk-management systems.
According to the company, the platform will clear these event-based trades directly via its full clearing membership with Kalshi Klear LLC. Plus500 highlighted that prediction markets are attracting interest from both retail and institutional participants as a regulated and transparent means of expressing views on outcomes tied to real-world events.
The rollout in the U.S. follows an earlier move by Plus500 in December 2025, when the firm served as a clearing partner for CME Group and FanDuel’s launch of FanDuel Prediction Markets. Plus500 said its scalable institutional infrastructure underpins its ability to support broader engagement across the prediction-markets ecosystem through both business-to-consumer innovation and business-to-business partnerships within a regulated framework.
The company did not provide additional details in the announcement about product launch timing beyond the platform inclusion or about specific contract listings beyond Kalshi Exchange products. The statement focused on the technical and clearing arrangements that will enable U.S. customers to access regulated event-based contracts on Plus500 Futures.
Market reaction to the news was immediate, with the stock climbing 7.5% on Tuesday after the launch was disclosed. The company positioned the expansion as a continuation of its strategic activity in event-based contracts, pointing to the December 2025 clearing partnership as a prior step in its engagement with the prediction-markets segment.
Context and next steps
Plus500 will rely on its clearing relationships and internal risk-management architecture to operate the new product suite. The company emphasized scale in its institutional systems as a means to facilitate wider participation in prediction markets across its B2C and B2B channels, within a regulated environment.
Further operational or product-level updates were not detailed in the announcement.
