The Zhitong Finance App learned that Vladimir Tenev, CEO of the online stock brokerage company Robinhood (HOOD.US), posted news on the X platform that Robinhood has strongly entered the forecasting market. Users can bet on high-profile events such as elections and sporting events in such markets. This move boosted the company's stock price by more than 12% in a single day on Monday. According to Tenev, Robinhood customers have already traded more than 4 billion forecast market contracts, reaching 2 billion transactions in the third quarter alone, accounting for half of the total volume.

The prediction market attracted widespread attention during the 2024 US presidential election, when platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket facilitated multi-million dollar predictive betting. Robinhood sees this as a new engine for growth, and the expansion of the forecasting market is gradually blurring the boundaries between the financial market and the gaming industry.

The company cooperated with Kalshi, which is regulated by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to provide predictive market contract trading services, and expanded its business into professional football and college football events in August 2025.

Monday's rise brought Robinhood's stock price to a record high. The cumulative increase during the year has exceeded 260%, and the company was officially included in the S&P 500 index this month.

In addition to the forecasting market, Robinhood's core business still focuses on stocks, options and cryptocurrency trading, forming a two-wheel drive pattern between traditional finance and emerging forecasting markets.
