TREE NEWS update: Kalshi has received approval from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission to list perpetual futures contracts tied to gold and silver, with the new markets going live on the platform on September 10. The application was filed in July. Udesh Jha, chief risk officer at Kalshi’s clearinghouse Kalshi Klear, said precious metals were chosen as the next asset class for perpetual futures because of strong market interest, noting gold and silver have a distinct trading story tied to inflation.
Kalshi Wins CFTC Approval for Gold, Silver Perpetual Futures in US
AI take
The significance here is regulatory rather than product-level: perpetual futures, a structure native to crypto venues, are being extended to traditional precious metals under CFTC approval, which suggests the agency is willing to treat perps as a legitimate listed instrument rather than a crypto-only curiosity. That matters for venues weighing similar filings and for how metals exposure gets packaged for US traders. The open question is whether this becomes a template for other asset classes at Kalshi, or remains a narrow metals experiment.
