Kalshi Gets CFTC Green Light for Regulated Bitcoin Perpetual Futures
Event contract platform Kalshi has received approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to launch Bitcoin-anchored regulated perpetual futures contracts. The product is designed for U.S. retail investors, providing a compliant crypto derivatives trading channel that differs from many offshore non-compliant offerings currently available.
Kalshi emphasized that this approval represents a regulatory compliance milestone but cautioned that it does not constitute an endorsement of leveraged trading risks. The regulated perpetual contract will offer U.S. retail markets a more transparent trading environment, potentially lowering the compliance barrier for retail participants entering the crypto derivatives space.
