TREE NEWS update: Polymarket has gone live with perpetual contracts offering traders up to 20x leverage, including never-expiring contracts on Brent and WTI crude oil trading offshore. Meanwhile, rival Kalshi is preparing a CFTC filing for a US-regulated version of similar products.
Polymarket Launches Perpetuals With Up to 20x Leverage
AI take
This move pushes prediction markets deeper into derivatives territory, blurring the line between event contracts and traditional leveraged trading. The offshore crude oil perpetuals signal an ambition to capture commodity traders, not just election forecasters. Kalshi's regulatory path creates a fork: whether US-regulated versions gain traction or offshore venues dominate liquidity is the key dynamic to watch.
