KalshiEX has filed proposed listing standards for perpetual security futures tied to 58 stocks and ETFs.
\nThe proposal was published on September 18 under SEC File No. SR-KALSHIEX-2026-02.
\nThe products are not live; CFTC approval is still pending.<\/p>\n
KalshiEX is seeking regulatory clearance for a product that would bring crypto-style perpetual futures mechanics into the US equity market.<\/p>\n
A rule filing published by the SEC<\/a> under File No. SR-KALSHIEX-2026-02 proposes listing standards for perpetual security futures tied to 58 stocks and exchange-traded funds.<\/p>\n Perpetual futures are already a core part of crypto trading, where contracts can remain open without a fixed expiration date and use funding mechanisms to keep prices aligned with the underlying market.<\/p>\n Applying a similar structure to US-listed stocks and ETFs would be a meaningful expansion of that model.<\/p>\n Kalshi\u2019s filing establishes the proposed framework, but it does not make the contracts available for trading immediately.<\/p>\n The document explicitly notes that the CFTC<\/a> has not yet approved the proposed rule change.<\/p>\n That status is the most important limitation.<\/p>\n The products are not live, and the September 18 filing should not be presented as evidence that US equity perpetuals have already started trading on Kalshi.<\/p>\n Instead, the filing gives regulators<\/a> and market participants a formal proposal to review.<\/p>\n If ultimately approved, the structure could blur some of the traditional boundaries between prediction-market infrastructure, derivatives exchanges<\/a> and crypto-style perpetual trading.<\/p>\n For now, however, the confirmed story is procedural: KalshiEX has proposed perpetual security futures linked to 58 stocks and ETFs, and regulatory approval remains pending.<\/p>\n This article was written by the News Desk and edited by Samuel Rae<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\nKalshi Targets Perpetual Exposure To Equities<\/h2>\n
