Kalshi Files To Bring Perpetual Futures To US Stocks And ETFs
Summary
KalshiEX has filed a proposal to list perpetual security futures tied to 58 U.S. stocks and ETFs, bringing crypto-style perpetual futures mechanics into equities. Like crypto perpetuals, these contracts would have no fixed expiration date and would use funding mechanisms to keep prices aligned with the underlying assets. The filing is only a regulatory step, not a launch: the contracts are not live, and approval is still pending. The SEC published the rule filing, but the CFTC has not yet approved the proposed change. If approved, the product could blur lines between prediction markets, derivatives exchanges, and crypto-style trading structures.
