Kalshi Files for Stock and Copper Perpetual Futures

Kalshi has filed with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to launch perpetual futures tied to a U.S. large-cap stock index and copper, extending the perpetual-futures model from crypto into traditional financial markets. The move builds on the prediction-market platform's earlier approval for Bitcoin perpetual futures in the U.S. market. If approved, the contracts would put Kalshi in closer competition with major derivatives providers.
