On Robinhood, a economics and the fed market is a contract on a clearly defined question that settles against a written rule, the named source and date set before trading. A correct side pays one dollar and the other pays nothing, so the price between 1 and 99 cents reads as the implied probability.
Contracts sourced from CFTC-regulated partner exchanges; Robinhood is the front end.
