Launches Institutional Access to Block Trading in Event Contracts as an Introducing Broker on Kalshi, a CFTC-Regulated Exchange, with Susquehanna Providing Pricing and Liquidity
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”), a premier global investment bank and part of the Cantor Fitzgerald group of companies, today announced the launch of institutional trading for prediction markets, becoming one of the first full-service investment banks to provide institutional clients with access to block trading in event contracts on a CFTC-regulated exchange.
Cantor will act as an Introducing Broker, arranging and facilitating the execution of institutional-size block trades in event contracts for institutional clients, enabling them to negotiate block trades in event contracts at a single price through Kalshi’s block trading framework, away from the central order book. Cantor is also collaborating with Susquehanna Predictions, part of the Susquehanna International Group of Companies, a leading liquidity provider in prediction markets, to provide institutional-scale pricing and liquidity for its prediction markets coverage.
Cantor is applying the institutional trading model it has developed across Equities and Fixed Income to a new regulated asset class and will operate the business within its Global Markets division under Co-CEOs Pascal Bandelier and Christian Wall. Initially, Cantor will facilitate block trades on Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated exchange, with additional venues expected to follow.
