Kalshi Expands Perps Offerings to Include Gold and Silver Futures
Prediction market Kalshi is expanding its offerings beyond crypto assets by launching perpetual futures contracts tied to gold and silver. The move follows an earlier request in which the platform asked the CFTC to review precious metal perps such as gold and silver under a slower regulatory approval process.
Kalshi plans to list the contracts, known as GOLDPERP and SILVERPERP, on September 9 with no expiry date. The contracts will be cash-settled and trade continuously, allowing traders to hold a single position on perps tied to gold or silver instead of moving from one dated contract to the next.
The reference source for both products is Pyth Network, with settlement in cash. There is no physical delivery of metal. As per the filings, gold perps track the spot price of one troy ounce of gold in U.S. dollars, while silver perps track the silver spot price.
