Prediction markets are pushing further into proprietary trading. Trade Tech Solutions, a technology provider for prop firms, said Friday it has built prediction markets into the Match-Trader platform as a native module, letting the firms on its stack offer event-based contracts inside their existing setup.

The deal lands two days after Match-Trade Technologies, which owns Match-Trader, named a new platform head on June 3 with a brief to push the software deeper into prop trading and prediction markets. The hire flagged the intent, and this is the first platform partnership to follow it.

It is not Trade Tech Solutions' first move here. The firm said in May it was adding prediction markets as a fifth product line, pitched at prop operators to launch in about 15 days.

What Friday's announcement adds is the delivery method, packaging that push as a module inside Match-Trader rather than its own stack.

Event Contracts Move Next to the Evaluation Model

Inside Match-Trader, the markets are grouped by theme and structured as binary YES or NO contracts, with positions settling automatically once an outcome is confirmed, according to the company. The same event-based format Match-Trade began selling to brokers in April now sits in the prop channel.

What changes in that channel is the surrounding machinery. Prop firms run paid evaluations and funded accounts, so event contracts now sit alongside challenge rules and payout logic rather than on a broker's open market menu.

Stefano M., a partnership manager at Trade Tech Solutions, said the format fits a direction of "expanding tradable opportunities while keeping operations as simple as possible." The company did not say which prop firms have switched the module on.

A Lane That Filled Up Fast

The push enters a segment that crowded quickly. Leverate opened its own prediction markets platform to brokers earlier this year, and Devexperts has rolled out a comparable event-trading product, leaving several vendors chasing the same demand.

Interest has tracked the rise of Polymarket and Kalshi, the consumer platforms that pulled event betting into the mainstream. The sector posted a record single-day volume of $701.7 million in January 2026, and global turnover crossed $44 billion in 2025, according to industry estimates.

Match-Trade has been gaining ground in the platform market, where it competes with MetaTrader 5, cTrader and DXtrade. The company reported a 290% jump in server clients between January 2024 and 2025, and routing prediction markets through a prop-focused partner extends that reach into a channel its rivals are also working.

The Vendor Was Built Inside a Prop Firm

Trade Tech Solutions presents Goat Funded Trader as one client among many. The tie is closer than that.

The vendor was founded by the executive who launched and scaled Goat Funded Trader, and the prop firm runs on its infrastructure, according to both companies' own materials.

The prediction-markets push is therefore moving through a supplier rooted in a prop firm rather than an independent technology house.

Match-Trade Technologies supplies the underlying module. Chief executive Michal Karczewski said Trade Tech Solutions "chose Match-Trader to bring prediction markets to its prop firm ecosystem."
