Connamara Technologies has announced that Railbird Exchange will deploy its EP3 exchange platform to power Railbird’s regulated prediction market in the United States. Railbird, founded in 2021, enables users to trade on real-world event outcomes, spanning economic, entertainment, and cultural themes. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) granted Railbird Designated Contract Market (DCM) status on 13 June 2025, with its launch scheduled for later this year.

The EP3 platform offers Railbird a high-performance, modular system designed to meet the operational demands of regulated marketplaces. It includes features such as order matching, risk management, and market surveillance. For Connamara, Railbird’s selection reinforces EP3’s growing adoption among emerging and regulated markets, highlighting its ability to accelerate market entry and reduce operational costs.
