Cboe Global Markets Inc. is set to enter the prediction market industry with a focus on financial and economic events. The Chicago-based derivatives exchange plans to launch its prediction market business in the coming months, steering clear of sports-related products to avoid legal uncertainties. Cboe CEO Craig Donohue highlighted the company's strategy to concentrate on financial outcomes and economic indicators. This move positions Cboe in a competitive space alongside CME Group Inc., which recently partnered with FanDuel to develop a prediction market-based consumer app. Other players in the U.S. prediction market include Kalshi and Polymarket, indicating a growing interest in federally regulated event contracts.
