Tunica-Biloxi Tribe partners with Kalshi to launch prediction market app
The venture follows a conditional CFTC no-action letter that provides a regulatory framework for the Tribe's participation.
The Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana has entered the prediction market industry with the launch of SaltTrade Derivatives, a Tribal-owned venture developing an app powered by Kalshi’s prediction market infrastructure.
The platform is designed to let users trade event contracts based on future events through a structured marketplace with defined rules and objectively verifiable outcomes. The Tribe said the initiative is aimed at expanding its economic portfolio, creating long-term revenue opportunities and providing a potential model for other sovereign Tribal nations seeking greater economic self-determination.
The venture follows a conditional CFTC no-action letter that provides a regulatory framework for the Tribe’s participation, with SaltTrade Derivatives relying on the relief rather than registering with the agency.
