KalshiEX Proposes Perpetual Futures for US Stocks and ETFs
- KalshiEX has filed proposed listing standards for perpetual security futures tied to 58 stocks and ETFs.
- The proposal was published on September 18 under SEC File No. SR-KALSHIEX-2026-02.
- CFTC approval is still pending, meaning the products are not yet live.
- Perpetual futures are a core part of crypto trading, allowing contracts to remain open without a fixed expiration date.
KalshiEX aims to introduce crypto-style perpetual futures mechanics into the US equity market by proposing new listing standards for securities tied to stocks and ETFs. The filing is a regulatory step that requires CFTC approval before these products can be traded.
This procedural move by KalshiEX could potentially blur traditional boundaries between prediction-market infrastructure, derivatives exchanges, and crypto-style perpetual trading if approved. Source
