Kalshi launching perpetual futures for crypto trading.
The regulated prediction market platform is expanding into perps - a massive move that could bridge TradFi compliance with degen trading infrastructure.
This matters because:
• Kalshi already has CFTC approval for event contracts
• Perps = 24/7 leverage trading with no expiry
• Could attract institutional flow that's been sitting on sidelines
• Competes directly with offshore exchanges but with US regulatory backing
If they nail the UX and liquidity, this could be a legitimate on-ramp for capital that won't touch Binance or Bybit.
Watch for launch details and which tokens get listed first. BTC and ETH are obvious, but altcoin perps would be the real alpha.
