Kalshi and Polymarket Enter the Crypto Race to Launch Perpetual Futures

Kalshi and Polymarket, two leading U.S. prediction market platforms, are launching cryptocurrency perpetual futures to expand their offerings. Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated platform, will debut its product on April 27 with Bitcoin and USD collateral, while Polymarket announced its launch earlier to preempt competition. Both aim to capitalize on growing demand for continuous trading in crypto derivatives.
