ForecastEx, LLC ("ForecastEx"), the first and only CFTC Designated Contract Market and Derivative Clearing Organization offering event contracts to Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs) and their customers, is pleased to announce the approval of a new Clearing Member, Robinhood Derivatives, LLC.

ForecastEx offers FCMs and their customers the ability to hedge against or express conviction on the outcome of key political, economic and climate events using Forecast Contracts. For example, a customer who believes that Kamala Harris will win the 2024 US presidential election could submit a bid for the "Yes" contract of the event pair titled "Will Kamala Harris win the US Presidential Election in 2024?". If Kamala Harris is certified as the winner by the US Congress, then the holder of that "Yes" contract will be paid $1.00 and the holder of the "No" contract, $0. If the cost to purchase that "Yes" contract was $0.37, then the purchaser would earn $0.63 per contract.
