Online trading platform Webull has expanded its cryptocurrency offerings with the launch of hourly crypto prediction markets, developed in partnership with Kalshi—the first U.S. prediction exchange regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

By introducing Kalshi’s hourly contracts, Webull is providing a simplified trading experience that eliminates the complexities of traditional derivatives like options or futures. These contracts offer fixed outcomes with no margin requirements, significantly lowering the entry barrier for both novice and experienced traders.

“Prediction markets offer a transparent, low-cost alternative for market participation,” said Anthony Denier, Group President and U.S. CEO of Webull. He emphasized that this rollout expands Webull’s platform with accessible tools that cater to traders at every level, while maintaining a user-friendly approach to crypto engagement.

With this release, users can make directional bets on whether Bitcoin or Ethereum will close above or below a specific price point within the hour. This structure offers clear risk and reward outcomes, making it particularly attractive to those new to trading or seeking alternative strategies beyond traditional investment methods.

Kalshi Co-founder and CEO Tarek Mansour highlighted the significance of the partnership, calling it a major step in mainstreaming prediction markets. “Our hourly crypto markets are direct and intuitive, offering a simple way to express views on price direction,” Mansour noted. “Webull’s adoption of this tool puts powerful decision-making into more hands.”

Currently, the feature is exclusive to Webull’s U.S. users. Its launch comes amid growing interest in event-based and short-duration trading, particularly among younger investors looking for faster, more flexible ways to interact with volatile markets like crypto.

In a similar move to broaden access to digital assets , Latin American financial institution Nubank, backed by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, has expanded its own crypto portfolio. The platform has added support for Cardano (ADA), Near Protocol (NEAR), Cosmos (ATOM), and Algorand (ALGO).
