Aries launches ForecastEx prediction markets ahead of US midterms
Aries Mobile adds election, economic and financial contracts through ForecastEx. Separate accounts are required, while API and MCP access remain planned.
Aries has launched prediction markets in its mobile app, offering eligible US customers election, economic and financial contracts listed and cleared by ForecastEx.
The 30 October announcement includes access to 2026 US midterm contracts ahead of the 3 November vote.
Separate accounts for event contracts
Aries Futures LLC is the introducing broker, with accounts carried by Advantage Futures LLC. Customers must apply for a separate event-contract account; securities accounts are offered through RAM Financial LLC.
Aries says sports, awards and other entertainment contracts are excluded. ForecastEx is an Interactive Brokers affiliate; neither is affiliated with Aries or endorses it, according to the release.
API and MCP access are planned
Aries plans to add event contracts to Aries Infinite and extend access to finance.dev and its MCP server for authorised connected tools. Those extensions have no confirmed implementation dates.
The release provides no adoption or trading-volume figures. ForecastEx’s role is listing and clearing; Aries adds a customer-access channel.
