Kalshi Brings Perpetual Futures to Gold and Silver Trading

Kalshi has launched perpetual futures contracts for gold and silver trading in the US, expanding its business lines beyond prediction markets.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) approved Kalshi's request to offer these contracts, which allow traders to bet on price fluctuations without owning the underlying asset.

Kalshi entered the perp market through crypto first and has seen significant growth since regulation, with notional volume reaching $44 billion in its crypto perps.

The company attributes its success to regulatory clearance, citing that unregulated platforms have always hit a ceiling.
