Wealthsimple has launched a new prediction market app, marketed as Wealthsimple Predict, for Canadian investors, using Kalshi’s market platform. The product follows regulatory approval earlier in the year. According to reporting, Wealthsimple Predict gives users access to nearly 4,000 trading contracts available on Kalshi. The launch comes amid ongoing international scrutiny and legal challenges involving prediction markets, including concerns and actions taken by regulators, exchanges, and policymakers in various jurisdictions. While details of how the product operates within Wealthsimple’s brokerage or account framework are described by the outlets, both emphasize the partnership structure and the breadth of contracts available. The move positions Wealthsimple as a channel for Kalshi’s offerings in Canada, while the broader prediction market sector continues to face regulatory and legal pressure in multiple markets. The launch therefore reflects both a specific product rollout for Canadian users and a wider context in which prediction markets remain under active review by authorities.
