Kalshi Adds Five More "Perps-criptions" to Its CFTC Pharmacy 🏥

Prediction market Kalshi has rolled out perpetual futures contracts for BNB, Cardano ($ADA), Worldcoin ($WLD), AAVE and Venice Token ($VVV), expanding its US-regulated lineup of crypto derivatives. The additions were filed with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission last week and went live under Kalshi's "American Perpetuals" brand, which markets CFTC-regulated perpetual futures to US traders.

The new contracts bring Kalshi's perpetual offerings to Bitcoin plus 17 altcoins, including $ETH, $XRP, $SOL, HYPE and Zcash. Maximum leverage varies by asset, listed at 4.5x for BNB and 1.9x for Venice Token, with the products settling in USD and carrying no expiration date.

According to the platform, the launch came as the broader crypto market recovered and trading volumes on Kalshi rose. The venue had previously debuted Zcash and Near perpetual contracts in recent weeks, building out its roster of CFTC-supervised derivatives.

Kalshi operates as a CFTC-regulated prediction market and has been positioning its perpetual futures line as a compliant alternative for US-based traders seeking leveraged crypto exposure. Each contract is structured to clear under US oversight rather than through offshore derivatives venues.

The expansion adds five new tickers to Kalshi's books in a single update, with BNB, $ADA, $WLD, AAVE and $VVV now available alongside the platform's existing roster of CFTC-regulated perpetual futures products.
