Kalshi Expands Perpetual Futures Lineup with Gold and Silver Contracts
Kalshi has filed to launch gold and silver perpetual futures contracts, expanding its lineup beyond 18 cryptocurrencies. The company's proposed terms for GOLDPERP and SILVERPERP will use Pyth Network prices and settle in U.S. dollars without requiring physical delivery of the metals.
The contracts are scheduled to begin trading on September 9 and will operate around the clock, allowing eligible customers to adjust positions during weekends and holidays when major U.S. commodity futures markets are normally closed.
Kalshi's perpetual structure eliminates the need for traders to roll over their positions from expiring futures contracts into later ones, which can reduce rollover costs. The company identified potential users of its metal-linked contracts, including financial institutions, refiners, bullion dealers, and companies that use gold and silver in their operations.
