Kalshi Wins US Approval for Gold and Silver Perpetual Futures Contracts

Kalshi has received approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to launch perpetual futures contracts on gold and silver in the US. This move expands beyond Kalshi's initial focus on crypto perpetuals.

The company's commodity event contracts have seen rapid growth, and it is now seeking approval for similar contracts on equities, copper, and currencies.

This development challenges traditional futures exchanges, which have reacted negatively to the new contract type's disruptive potential.
