An event contract is a derivative that pays out on a specific event, occurrence or value. Traders can buy and sell contracts based on their own knowledge or opinion about a particular event. This allows market participants to hedge their risk for potential changes in the future.
Railbird is pending regulatory approval. Once Railbird is licensed, we will monitor our markets and report to the Commission for any irregularities. As part of our requirements, Railbird also works with a clearing house to facilitate transactions and provide market stability. Read our rules and requirements in Railbird’s Rulebook.
