CFTC order permits Kalshi to introduce onshore regulated bitcoin perpetual futures
The CFTC has issued an order allowing Kalshi to list the first federally regulated Bitcoin perpetual futures in the United States [2].
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission issued an approval order permitting prediction-market operator Kalshi to offer perpetual futures tied to bitcoin’s price, marking the first federally regulated Bitcoin perpetuals to be listed in the United States [1] [2] [3].
Kalshi, which began as a crypto prediction market, will expand its product slate to include crypto perpetuals under the CFTC order; reporters and industry coverage characterize the decision as creating an on‑shore avenue for regulated crypto derivatives trading [3] [4] [1].
Observers say the approval could serve as a precedent for broader adoption of regulated crypto derivatives in U.S. markets, with Kalshi’s CFTC order cited as a potential template for similar products under CFTC oversight [4] [1].
