Coinbase, Kalshi bring regulated perpetual crypto futures to US investors
- On Friday, Coinbase and Kalshi introduced perpetual crypto futures, marking the first time such instruments are available to United States investors through domestic, regulated exchanges.
- The Commodity Futures Trading Commission granted listing approval to both firms, effectively transitioning perpetual futures from a regulatory gray area into a formal onshore framework.
- Perpetual futures trading volume reached $61.7 trillion in 2025, up 29 per cent on 2024, according to CryptoQuant; traders use leverage as high as 50-to-1 to amplify exposure to Bitcoin and Ethereum.

- President Donald Trump aims to cement America as the crypto capital of the world, a goal Selig described as a major step forward while the industry awaits permanent laws from Congress.
