Kalshi Files for XRP and Shiba Inu Perpetual Futures in Major Regulatory Move

Regulatory developments in the cryptocurrency space continue to unfold, with significant implications for token visibility and trading activity. Kalshi, a prediction market and trading platform, has submitted an application with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to launch perpetual futures for XRP and Shiba Inu.

The filing marks a major step towards bringing these tokens closer to mainstream U.S. trading. If approved, the new products would allow traders to bet on the future price of XRP and SHIB with leverage, without ever having to actually hold the assets.
