Kalshi Expands Perpetual Futures Offerings with New Crypto Assets
- Kalshi has launched perpetual futures for BNB, ADA, AAVE, Worldcoin (WLD), and Venice Token (VVV) under CFTC regulation.
- The platform now offers a total of perpetuals for Bitcoin and 17 altcoins including ETH, XRP, and Zcash.
- Max leverage varies by asset, with BNB at up to 4.5x and Venice Token at up to 1.9x.
- BNB’s price increased over 5% to $729, while ADA rose nearly 10% to $0.222 ahead of RealFi’s mainnet launch on October 1.
- The CFTC is currently dismissing a lawsuit from CME Group regarding the classification of these contracts as swaps.
Kalshi’s new offerings reflect its commitment to providing regulated trading options in the U.S., with products that settle in USD and have no expiration date. The recent approvals come amid ongoing legal challenges faced by the CFTC from CME Group.
With BNB trading around $723 after an impressive volume surge, Kalshi’s expansion into these assets signifies a growing interest in regulated perpetual futures in the crypto market.
