Kalshi receives approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to list gold and silver perpetual futures on its platform. Multiple outlets report that the CFTC authorizes the weekly listing this week, bringing precious-metals “perps” to the exchange. The contracts are tied to gold and silver pricing.
Quartz and PYMNTS both frame the move as part of Kalshi’s broader expansion beyond crypto-linked products. Quartz emphasizes that the gold and silver perps are the first non-cryptocurrency perpetual futures contracts cleared in the United States. PYMNTS adds context that Kalshi previously obtained approval to list cryptocurrency perpetual futures in May, positioning the precious-metals launch as a follow-on to that earlier regulatory milestone.
The sources do not describe additional contract terms, trading volumes, or market impacts, but they agree on the core development: CFTC approval enables Kalshi to offer gold and silver perpetual futures for trading in the U.S.
