Kalshi and Polymarket Launch Crypto Perpetual Futures
- Crypto Derivatives Competition: Kalshi and Polymarket, two leading U.S. prediction market platforms, have launched crypto perpetual futures, with Kalshi set to debut its product, codenamed 'Timeless,' on April 27 in New York City, allowing traders to take leveraged positions without expiry dates, which is expected to attract traders seeking exposure to cryptocurrency price movements.
- Surge in Trading Volumes: March saw a record 192 million transactions across prediction markets, with Kalshi's crypto trading volumes exceeding $1 billion for the first time, while Polymarket surpassed $1 billion in weekly notional volumes during Q1 2026, indicating strong demand for flexible market exposure.
- Regulatory Advantage: As a CFTC-regulated operator, Kalshi plans to introduce stablecoin collateral in the upcoming quarter, potentially gaining a competitive edge over offshore crypto derivatives providers amid discussions by regulatory authorities to formally oversee U.S. perpetual futures.
- Legal Challenges: Concurrently, New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed lawsuits against Coinbase and Gemini, alleging their prediction market operations are unlicensed and could expose underage users to financial risks, which may impact the expansion of both Kalshi and Polymarket.
