Kalshi received CFTC approval for a US500 perpetual future and opened trading on the contract. Kalshi also asked the CFTC to approve a never-expiring oil futures contract, extending its perpetual-futures push beyond cryptocurrencies, metals, and equities.
Key claims & sources
What it means
U.S. clients who use Kalshi’s US500 contract can now trade leveraged long or short exposure to 500 large American companies with no fixed expiry date. That change is visible to traders and the broader market today because the contract has already been opened for trading.
Market reaction i
The move was larger before the first headline than after. That is an observation, not an explanation: the market also moves on things nobody publishes.
Coverage timeline
Every piece in order, with the time its news medium declares — if it is not believable we use ours and say so — and what it added to what was already known at that point. Arriving first is not the same as adding something.
