Kalshi Proposes Perpetual Futures for 58 US Stocks and ETFs

KalshiEX has proposed listing standards for perpetual security futures tied to 58 stocks and ETFs, but regulatory approval is still pending. The proposal was published on September 18 under SEC File No. SR-KALSHIEX-2026-02.

The products would bring crypto-style perpetual futures mechanics into the US equity market. Perpetual futures are a core part of crypto trading, where contracts can remain open without a fixed expiration date and use funding mechanisms to keep prices aligned with the underlying market.

KalshiEX is seeking regulatory clearance for a product that would apply this structure to US-listed stocks and ETFs. The filing establishes the proposed framework but does not make the contracts available for trading immediately.
