FIS announced the launch of its CD Prediction Clearing platform on March 24, 2026, adding a post‑trade clearing solution to its Cleared Derivatives suite that is designed for regulated prediction markets. The new platform delivers real‑time clearing, high‑volume transaction processing, and 24/7 availability—capabilities that legacy systems were never built to support at scale.
The launch is part of a broader strategy to modernize financial infrastructure and expand into emerging markets. FIS has recently introduced AI‑powered offerings such as the Neural Treasury suite and the Insurance Risk Suite AI Assistant, underscoring a company‑wide push toward advanced technology solutions.
FIS partnered with Kalshi, a leading prediction‑market operator that reported roughly $10.4 billion in trading volume in the month preceding the launch. The partnership positions the new platform to handle the high‑volume, real‑time demands of prediction‑market participants and to support the projected five‑fold growth of the sector by 2030.
Andrés Choussy, Head of Capital Markets at FIS, said, "Prediction markets are demanding real‑time clearing, high‑volume transaction processing and round‑the‑clock availability, all of which are capabilities that legacy systems were never designed to deliver at scale." The quote highlights the technical gap that the new platform is intended to fill.
Andy Ross, Head of Institutional at Kalshi, added, "We are at an inflection point for prediction markets. The appetite from both retail and institutional participants is unlike anything we've seen before. To sustain that momentum, the infrastructure underpinning these markets needs to keep pace, and having the right post‑trade foundation in place is critical to unlocking the next wave of participation."
The launch signals FIS’s intent to capture a growing market segment and to leverage its deep expertise in cleared derivatives operations. By offering a cloud‑native, high‑throughput clearing solution, FIS aims to become a key enabler for the next generation of prediction‑market platforms, aligning with its broader modernization agenda.
