Apex Fintech Solutions Inc. ("Apex"), a provider of infrastructure for modern investing, has announced a new API technology that enables firms to offer Kalshi-powered prediction markets directly through their own platforms. Clients can now access market flow from Kalshi — described as the world's largest prediction market exchange — via Apex's plug-and-play system, eliminating the need to build proprietary Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) infrastructure or establish direct exchange connectivity.

Kalshi operates as a federally regulated exchange under Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversight, offering event contracts that allow participants to trade on the outcomes of real-world events. The exchange has attracted growing mainstream attention as prediction markets have expanded beyond niche forecasting communities into broader retail investing, particularly around economic data releases, elections, and cultural milestones. Through this collaboration, firms can offer prediction market trading on real-world outcomes spanning economic indicators, financial markets, weather, sports, and cultural events. Apex manages clearing, custody, money movement, statements, and account management, while Kalshi supplies the regulated marketplace and event contract offerings. tastytrade is the first firm to go live on the platform.

"Investors want to trade on direct events, not proxies," said Travis McGhee, Global Head of Digital Markets at Apex Fintech Solutions. "Through our platform, clients can now offer Kalshi's event contracts with ease – no FCM buildout, no lengthy development cycles, no separate platform to manage. We've cleared the path. Now firms can move with more velocity."

"Apex's infrastructure opens the door for more firms to offer Kalshi markets to their customers," said Max Crowley, VP of Business Development at Kalshi. "By removing the technical barriers that have historically limited access, this integration helps bring prediction markets to a broader audience of investors who want to trade on the events shaping the world around them."

Turnkey Infrastructure, Accelerated Launch

Apex Prediction Markets removes traditional barriers to offering regulated event contract trading through several core features:

• Turnkey FCM Infrastructure: Apex handles FCM operations, clearing, segregated custody, and account management, significantly reducing the infrastructure burden for firms.
• Seamless API Integration: Clients connect through existing AscendOS APIs for order management, position tracking, and market data — reducing months of development to weeks.
• Unified Portfolio Experience: Event contract positions display alongside traditional securities, eliminating the need for separate platforms.
• 24/7 Trading Access: Kalshi markets trade around the clock, capturing activity when traditional markets are closed.
• Automated Settlement: Real-time payouts are credited to investor accounts the moment contract outcomes are determined.

A Platform Built for Growth

Kalshi is the first venue integrated into Apex's Prediction Markets Platform, a unified hub designed to simplify access to prediction market venues. As the platform evolves, Apex plans to introduce additional venues and expanded capabilities, all accessible through a single AscendOS connection.
