Kalshi Targets Perpetual Futures Expansion After $5.5B Debut Surge

Kalshi, a prediction market platform, is preparing to expand its perpetual futures offerings following a strong market debut that generated more than $5.5 billion in trading volume within just two weeks.

The platform currently supports 11 crypto-linked perpetual contracts and is in ongoing discussions with regulators to enable the launch of additional products. These efforts are also aimed at broadening its lineup into a wider range of asset classes over time.

Adding to this early momentum, trading activity surged during major sporting events, including the FIFA World Cup and NBA Finals, with daily volumes surpassing $1 billion for three consecutive days.
