Kalshi files for XRP, SOL, ETH, DOGE perps beyond Bitcoin

Kalshi has filed to list a new batch of crypto perpetual futures, including contracts tied to XRP, SOL, ETH, and DOGE, according to CFTC product filings published Monday. The filings show the products were certified on June 1 under KalshiEX, with additional contracts tied to XLM, SUI, SHIB, LTC, LINK, HBAR, DOT, and BCH also certified. The products are categorized as futures tied to financial instruments.

The move expands Kalshi's crypto derivatives push beyond Bitcoin after the platform received approval for BTC perpetual futures last week. Perpetual futures are contracts without a fixed expiration date, a structure widely used in crypto markets but historically dominated by offshore exchanges. The latest filing signals that Kalshi is moving quickly to build a broader regulated crypto perps lineup in the US.

If launched, the contracts would give traders exposure to some of the largest altcoins through a CFTC-regulated venue rather than an offshore exchange.

The planned lineup also places Kalshi more directly in competition with crypto-native platforms and other US-regulated venues seeking to bring perpetual futures activity onshore. Coinbase has also been moving into US-regulated perpetual-style products, reflecting a wider shift in crypto market structure.
