Kalshi is expanding its perpetual futures to include new asset classes beyond crypto, starting with gold and silver, with plans for further expansion. The company is actively pursuing institutional adoption by offering block trades and building relationships with large brokers and financial institutions to integrate its offerings into their infrastructure.
“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.”
“And the center of all this real world asset liquidity is the United States. It's the U.S. retail and large U.S. institutions that are currently providing liquidity or trading on one of these traditional financial platforms that need to access like a regulated, easy to access U.S. platform.”
“We've plugged into a lot of the SCMs, which is kind of like the infrastructure or trading terminals that a lot of these large hedge funds and institutions utilize.”
