BREAKING: Prediction Market Kalshi Files with CFTC to Launch Gold and Silver Perps
Covered by 2 sources · 2 articles
Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated prediction market, has filed regulatory paperwork to launch perpetual futures contracts pegged to gold and silver prices. The dollar-settled perps would be available to eligible U.S. traders and carry no expiration dates, mirroring the structure of Kalshi's existing cryptocurrency perpetual offerings. This marks the platform's first expansion beyond digital assets into traditional commodities.
- Kalshi is diversifying its perps menu from crypto-only to include precious metals, a move that tests how far CFTC oversight extends into non-crypto derivatives.
- The new contracts follow Kalshi's established model of dollar settlement and no-expiry structure, designed for U.S. retail traders.
