Aries Launches Prediction Markets Through ForecastEx

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Aries has launched prediction markets in Aries Mobile, offering eligible customers access to event contracts on the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, economic data and financial markets through Aries Futures LLC. The contracts are listed and cleared by ForecastEx LLC, an affiliate of Interactive Brokers.

Each event contract asks a yes-or-no question about a real-world outcome. Its price is set by buyers and sellers on the exchange, so a customer following the November 3rd midterm vote can watch it move throughout the day rather than wait on a poll taken a week ago. Prices are not predictions and may not reflect the actual likelihood of an outcome.

ForecastEx is a CFTC-designated contract market and clearing organization launched by Interactive Brokers, the firm founded by Thomas Peterffy. The exchange is open to other brokers, and Aries reaches it through Aries Futures LLC, a CFTC-registered introducing broker and NFA member, with accounts carried by Advantage Futures LLC.

"We wanted our first prediction markets on regulated rails, with real price discovery behind every contract," said Reda Falih, founder and CEO of Aries. "Polls tell you what people say. Markets show you what people will put money behind."

Eligible U.S. customers can apply for a separate event contract account through Aries Futures LLC to trade in Aries Mobile. Event contract accounts are separate from securities accounts offered through RAM Financial LLC. Aries does not offer sports, awards or other entertainment contracts.

Aries plans to integrate prediction markets into Aries Infinite, its open trading canvas, allowing eligible customers to view event contract prices alongside charts, news and positions.

Aries also plans to extend event contract access to finance.dev and the Aries MCP server, allowing eligible customers to access supported market data and submit authorized orders through connected tools.

One platform, three products

Prediction markets join a product line that Aries built on a single API.

Aries Mobile brings US stocks, ETFs, options and now event contracts to iOS and Android, with real-time market data, Bloomberg TV and TradingView charts in the same app.

Aries Infinite is an open trading canvas where traders arrange modular widgets for charts, order entry, market depth and news, trade through supported tools and share layouts with others. AI-assisted tools allow customers to describe custom widgets in a prompt.

Finance.dev provides API access to supported market data and trading functions, with SDKs in Python, JavaScript and Go and an Aries MCP server. Supported integrations allow customers to connect third-party AI tools, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to access information and submit orders subject to account permissions and customer authorization.

About Aries

Aries is a trading platform for people who want to shape their own tools. Aries Mobile covers US stocks, ETFs, options and prediction markets. Aries Infinite is an open canvas where traders assemble their own desk and build new widgets with AI. Finance.dev opens the same API that runs both, with SDKs in Python, JavaScript and Go and an MCP server for AI agents. The company is building toward a modular, open-source model, where traders and developers extend one another's components instead of waiting on a single roadmap. Aries Financial, Inc. is the holding company of RAM Financial LLC and Aries Futures LLC. Learn more at aries.com or finance.dev.
