Ständer

Stand is a specialized "pro-tail" trading terminal designed for active participants in the burgeoning prediction market ecosystem. While individual platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket offer the underlying liquidity, Stand provides the professional-grade interface and automation tools required to trade these markets at scale. As of early 2026, the platform has reached a significant milestone of $200M in annualized trading volume, reflecting a shift in how traders interact with event contracts.

Unlike standard web interfaces that act as simple wrappers, Stand operates as a full-execution terminal where users can deposit funds directly. This architectural choice enables advanced order types and automations that are technically impossible through simple API connectors. The tool effectively bridges the gap between the regulated U.S. event contract market (Kalshi) and the global decentralized liquidity of Polymarket, allowing traders to manage cross-platform positions without switching tabs or managing fragmented wallets.

The company focuses on building software infrastructure for traders who incorporate probability markets into broader macro, financial, and event-driven strategies. With volumes rising and institutional-style practices spreading, Stand positions itself as a gateway between fragmented prediction venues and a more integrated, professional trading ecosystem.

Stand operates outside the U.S. and adheres to Polymarket and Kalshi's terms, including geo-blocking restricted regions. Most of the terminal's users are in Europe and Asia, where traders are looking to plug prediction contracts into broader macro and event-driven strategies.
