Kalshi contracts go live on CQG, with NYFIX access planned

Kalshi event contracts are available through CQG’s trading front ends and APIs, according to a 29 October announcement from Broadridge, which owns CQG.

The integration places event contracts alongside futures, options and equities within CQG’s trading environment. Broadridge says brokers and futures commission merchants can use the connection to provide trading access and market data.

CQG is live; NYFIX is a planned extension

The announcement distinguishes the live CQG connection from access through the CQG–NYFIX integration, which it says will be made available to participants on the NYFIX network.

Broadridge describes a prospective reach of more than 1,700 buy-side clients using NYFIX for connectivity. That is a network-distribution figure, rather than a count of firms already trading Kalshi contracts.

The company says the launch responds to demand in the United States and EMEA. Access remains subject to eligibility and jurisdictional requirements; the announcement does not establish unrestricted availability across either region.

Another route into existing trading workflows

For brokers already using CQG, the connection offers another way to distribute event contracts through their existing trading systems. It does not, by itself, establish how many customers will use the service or whether spreads, liquidity or execution will improve.

The release does not disclose integration fees, a NYFIX activation date, active customer numbers or a participating-broker roster.

Prediction Frontier has separately covered Plus500’s access to Kalshi perpetual futures through its US FCM. That report concerns a different product and distribution arrangement. The CQG announcement concerns access to Kalshi event contracts.
