According to Kalshi's official blog, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) approved the listing of Bitcoin perpetual futures (BTCPERP) on June 29. Kalshi plans to launch the regulated product within weeks. The approval marks the first time the CFTC has authorized perpetual futures contracts linked to Bitcoin prices in the U.S., bringing regulated perpetual futures trading under the American regulatory framework. Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour stated, "Perpetual futures have been among the most important financial innovations in global markets, but have been inaccessible in the U.S. until now. Introducing a regulated perpetual futures market provides American investors with a new risk management tool."
