How it settles

Economics and the fed markets on Sporttrade.

On Sporttrade, 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.

Previously licensed under state gaming rules; has wound down online betting and is seeking federal approval, so the prediction-market form is in transition.

Always read the specific market's resolution rule, not the headline. Fees and spreads reduce real returns, and availability can change.

FAQ

Questions readers keep asking.

Does Sporttrade offer economics or Fed markets?

No. Sporttrade is a sports trading exchange, and as of January 2026 it does not list economics or Federal Reserve markets. Its product is built around sporting events. This is general information, not advice.

What does Sporttrade offer?

Sporttrade runs a sports trading exchange where you buy and sell positions on sporting outcomes at prices that move during a game, and you can often trade out before the event ends. It is licensed as a sports betting operator at the state level in a set of states.

Where can I trade economics and Fed markets?

On federally regulated event contract exchanges that list them. Read our economics and the Fed guide to understand the category, then compare the venues that genuinely offer these markets and are available where you live.

Might Sporttrade add economics markets later?

We cannot say it will. Sporttrade has signalled an intent to seek federal exchange and clearing approval, but that effort concerns how it offers sports markets, not adding an economics menu. As of January 2026, economics markets are not offered there.

Can I lose money on economic markets elsewhere?

Yes. Economic markets are real money contracts, and because the underlying numbers are so closely watched, the obvious edges are often already in the price. Treat any position as something you can lose entirely.

Sources and where to check

These contracts trade on a regulated venue and settle against a written rule. Read the primary source and the specific market rule before you act.
