Kalshi has launched a regulated perpetual futures offering, positioning itself as the first regulated perpetual futures exchange in the U.S. Initially focusing on crypto, the platform is expanding to include non-crypto asset classes like gold and silver, aiming to capture a significant share of the real-world asset market.
“We also have our new regulated PERPS offering, which is the first regulated perpetual futures exchange in the U.S., that's like the first time essentially you have a perp app on the app store, you have your legal no VPN access for normal US users, kind of like your mom, your cousin, even like your friend could access it.”
“And we're soon to launch like our non-crypto asset classes as well. I think it was announced that we filed for a gold and silver, which should be coming in a matter of weeks. And obviously, we're looking to expand to other asset classes beyond just that.”
