Kalshi Prepares for Crypto Perpetual Futures Launch Amid Growing Institutional Interest

Kalshi, a leading prediction market platform, has announced plans to introduce cryptocurrency perpetual futures trading on April 27. The launch of this new product will mark the company's entry into the crypto derivatives market.

Perpetual futures allow traders to speculate on asset prices without owning the underlying token. Unlike traditional futures contracts, these perpetual futures have no expiration date and positions stay open indefinitely. A funding rate is used to keep prices aligned with spot markets.
