Plus500 Steps Into Prediction Markets, Becomes Clearing Partner for CME–FanDuel Venture

Plus500 is moving deeper into financial market infrastructure, announcing that it will serve as the clearing and execution partner for FanDuel Prediction Markets, the new event-contracts platform launched through a high-profile collaboration between CME Group and FanDuel.

The deal comes just a month after CME, the world’s largest derivatives exchange, confirmed its partnership with the online gaming heavyweight. For Plus500, the move marks its first formal entry into the surging prediction-markets category.

Plus500 Strengthens Its Infrastructure Strategy

Under the agreement, the London-listed fintech group will provide brokerage execution and clearing services across the platform, supporting the rollout of a new class of regulated event-based contracts.

“This partnership underscores our position as an accredited and trusted market-infrastructure provider,” said David Zruia, Chief Executive Officer of Plus500. “Our proprietary technology, regulatory strength and robust operational processes allow us to collaborate at scale with global institutional partners.”

Zruia added that the collaboration highlights Plus500’s evolution into a multi-asset fintech group with the capability to service both retail and institutional flows.

Second Major Infrastructure Deal in Weeks

The announcement follows another significant step in Plus500’s institutional build-out. Earlier this month, the company signed an exclusive agreement with Topstep, the Chicago-based proprietary trading firm, to provide all clearing services and technology infrastructure for its brokerage operations.

Taken together, the two partnerships show a clear strategic direction: Plus500 is positioning itself not just as a retail trading brand, but as an infrastructure backbone for two of the fastest-growing segments in the trading world—prop trading and prediction markets.

In a separate development shaping the global broker landscape, Plus500 has secured regulatory approval in Canada, marking another step in its expansion into tightly regulated markets. The firm recently obtained its CIRO licence, clearing the way for the launch of OTC trading services in the country.
