KALSHI TARGETS OIL WITH NEW PERPETUAL FUTURES Kalshi is preparing to seek U.S. regulatory approval for WTI crude oil perpetual futures, potentially as early as next week. The proposed contracts would trade 24 hours a day, five days a week and have no expiry date, allowing traders to hold leveraged positions without rolling contracts over. If approved by the CFTC, Kalshi could launch the first oil-linked perpetual futures on a regulated U.S. platform. The move is part of Kalshi’s expansion beyond prediction markets and crypto into traditional assets, including metals, equities, currencies and interest rates.(*Walter Bloomberg)
