CFTC Clears The Way For Regulated Crypto, Bitcoin Perpetuals—Kalshi Moves Next

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced it will allow regulated exchanges to list Bitcoin perpetual futures, creating a clearer path for these products under U.S. rules. The agency linked the move to the goal of making the U.S. a leader in crypto. In a related action, the CFTC issued a no-action letter to Coinbase, enabling its U.S. customers to access the platform's options and perpetuals. Following this regulatory shift, prediction market platform Kalshi announced plans to launch perpetual futures contracts, starting with crypto, to offer a regulated U.S. alternative to offshore platforms. Kalshi highlighted the massive growth of the offshore perpetual market and emphasized regulation as a key differentiator for its product.
