Aries announced October 30 that it launched prediction-market access in its mobile app through Aries Futures, with contracts listed and cleared by ForecastEx, an Interactive Brokers affiliate.

The company said the offering covers event contracts tied to the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, economic data and financial markets. Each contract concerns a yes-or-no outcome. Aries does not offer sports, awards or other entertainment contracts through the service, according to its announcement.

Eligible U.S. customers must apply for a separate event-contract account. Those accounts are carried by Advantage Futures and are distinct from securities accounts offered through RAM Financial, another Aries subsidiary.

Aries described ForecastEx as a Commodity Futures Trading Commission-designated contract market and clearing organization, and Aries Futures as a registered introducing broker and National Futures Association member. These are the company’s descriptions of the entities involved; registration does not constitute regulatory endorsement or a guarantee against loss.

The release cautions that exchange prices are not predictions and may differ from the likelihood of an outcome. It also says contract terms, designated resolution sources and deadlines govern settlement. Those distinctions matter for readers following election-related prices, which are different measures from votes counted or final election results.

Aries plans to bring event contracts to its Infinite trading interface and extend supported access to finance.dev and its MCP server. The announcement describes those as planned integrations rather than functions already available everywhere.

The company’s disclosures say event contracts can lose their entire purchase value plus fees, may have limited liquidity, and lack SIPC protection and FDIC insurance. This report describes the announced product and account structure, without recommending a contract or trading strategy.
