Prediction market platform Kalshi has filed with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to launch perpetual futures contracts tied to 12 major cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Stellar, Shiba Inu, Hedera, and Polkadot.
The filing comes soon after Kalshi got approval to offer Bitcoin perpetual futures, marking its first big step into crypto derivatives. If approved, the new products would let traders access several top altcoins through regulated futures contracts.
This move shows Kalshi’s growing ambitions in crypto and puts it in competition with big names like Binance, Coinbase, and Hyperliquid. The CFTC has said future approvals will be reviewed case by case because perpetual futures have unique features.
Market watchers are keeping a close eye on the proposal, since it could greatly expand regulated crypto trading options in the US.
