Kalshi Files to Offer Perpetual Futures on US Stocks and ETFs
(10 days ago) · 1 source · Summarized by CryptoBipto
Kalshi, a US-regulated prediction market platform, has filed to offer perpetual futures contracts tied to US stocks and ETFs. This would bring a product structure common in crypto markets into traditional finance. The filing represents an effort to expand the types of derivatives available to US-based traders.
WHY IT MATTERS
Perpetual futures are a type of financial contract that lets you bet on the price of an asset without ever having to settle or take delivery — think of it like renting exposure to a stock's price movement rather than buying the stock itself. These contracts never expire, unlike traditional futures that have a set end date (similar to how a coupon has an expiration but a gift card might not). This product type has been hugely popular in crypto trading but has not been available for US stocks through regulated US platforms. If approved, it could change how some traders interact with stock markets and blur the line between crypto-style trading tools and traditional finance.
