FCMs & Market Makers

Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs)

Rothera offers FCMs access to a CFTC-regulated prediction market that enables them to offer event contract trading to their customers.

Well understood workflows & integrations:

  • Standard FIX API access for order entry and market data.
  • Support for ISV applications (front, middle, and back office software integrations via API).
  • Conventional FCM workflow support (admin UIs, SFTP, file generation, reference data download, deposits/withdrawals including RTP).

Become a trading participant and clearing member:

  • Access a venue that does not compete with you for the end customer (retail or institutional).
  • Acquire new customers that have a demand to participate in prediction markets (retail or institutional).
  • Expand your current offering to include event contracts that integrate into existing operations, compliance, and trading workflows.
  • Offer institutional customers access to new cleared risk management products that allow them to migrate from ISDAs and bi-lateral risks.
