Kalshi Launches Perpetual Futures Trading: Bet on Crypto Prices Now
Kalshi Perpetual Futures is a new trading feature on the Kalshi prediction market site that allows users to trade on the price of cryptocurrencies.
To trade perpetual futures, you don't actually hold shares in the cryptocurrency; instead, you're betting on whether the price will go up or down. If you think the price will rise, you can 'Long' the market and receive a profit if it does. Conversely, if you predict that the price will drop, you can 'Short' the market and make a profit if it falls.
Kalshi offers perpetual futures for around 15 major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Each perpetual futures page has an order book showing recent trades and a line graph displaying price movement.
