Kalshi Files to Offer Perpetual Futures on US Stocks Alongside Coinbase
(13 days ago) · 1 source · Summarized by CryptoBipto
Prediction market platform Kalshi has filed to offer perpetual futures contracts tied to US stocks, following a similar move by Coinbase. Both companies are seeking regulatory approval to offer these derivative products in the United States.
WHY IT MATTERS
Perpetual futures are a type of contract that lets traders speculate on the price of an asset without ever having to take delivery of it, and unlike regular futures contracts, they never expire. Think of it like placing an ongoing bet on a stock's price that you can close whenever you want. These contracts have been very popular in crypto trading but are now being proposed for traditional stocks by companies like Kalshi and Coinbase. If approved, it could mean that platforms originally built for crypto or prediction markets start competing more directly with traditional stock brokerages and exchanges, potentially changing how people access financial markets.
