Kalshi: Launches Copper Perpetual Futures

Kalshi has rolled out copper perpetual futures, marking its first step past pure prediction markets into commodities derivatives. The contracts allow traders to take leveraged positions on copper prices without expiration dates, directly challenging traditional futures venues. This expansion taps growing demand for 24/7 perpetual products in physical assets while prediction market volumes remain steady. Analysts note the move aligns with broader institutional interest in non-crypto perpetuals as regulatory clarity improves for event contracts. Kalshi copper futures launch could accelerate prediction markets diversification and perpetual futures adoption across asset classes.
