In a significant development within the cryptocurrency and prediction markets, Robinhood Markets and Susquehanna International Group have jointly acquired a 90% stake in MIAXdx, a firm previously linked to the now-defunct FTX exchange. The source notes that this acquisition marks a strategic entry for both companies into the burgeoning prediction market sector.

The move positions Robinhood and Susquehanna to compete directly with established platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket, which have been gaining traction in the prediction markets. The acquisition is seen as a bold step to diversify their offerings and tap into the growing interest in predictive trading.
