PANews reported on June 17th, citing Bloomberg, that Kalshi is seeking to expand its newly launched perpetual contract business beyond digital assets, with trading volume exceeding $5.5 billion in its first two weeks. Kalshi currently offers 11 perpetual contracts, all for crypto tokens. Co-founder Tarek Mansour stated that the company is in discussions with regulators to add more contracts, with a long-term goal of expanding its product offerings to other asset classes. Kalshi's perpetual contracts are among the first products approved by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), marking the company's expansion beyond its core event-driven contract business. Furthermore, the World Cup and the NBA Finals boosted Kalshi's daily trading volume to over $1 billion for three consecutive days.
