> The planned integration would put Underdog Exchange contracts in Plaee’s trading interface and backend, letting operators add them to existing products or launch branded markets.

Underdog is adding a distribution route for its event contracts through Plaee, giving prediction-market operators a way to add them to existing products or launch new branded markets.

The companies announced the partnership Wednesday, Nov. 11. Under the plan, Underdog Exchange will be available through Plaee’s Prediction Trader interface and PlaeeOS backend. Plaee’s platform includes a white-label trading interface, exchange connectivity and tools for funding flows, customer retention and monetization.

The companies say operators could launch in weeks and would not need to register separately as a designated contract market, derivatives clearing organization or futures commission merchant to offer access through the partnership. That describes the companies’ view of the arrangement.

Aristotle Exchange DCM, Inc. has designated contract market status effective Sept. 5, 2025. Underdog Clearinghouse, Inc., formerly Aristotle Exchange DCO, Inc., has registered clearing-organization status effective the same day. UDM, LLC, doing business as Underdog Predict, is a registered futures commission merchant.

Underdog acquired Aristotle Exchange DCM, Inc. and Aristotle Exchange DCO, Inc. in March and launched its own exchange July 18. “Our strategic partnership aims to accelerate our B2B business,” said Nick Lundgren, Underdog’s chief legal officer.

The companies gave no specific date for the integration and did not identify operators planning to use it.
