Summary

Kalshi has opened its regulated crypto perpetual futures product to the public for U.S. traders and said its rollout now includes 11 tokens, including XRP, HYPE and Solana. The cash-settled contracts have no fixed expiration, allowing users to gain crypto exposure without taking delivery or rolling dated futures. Kalshi said the lineup includes what it described as the first regulated Hyperliquid-native perpetual contract. It also said on June 10 that Solana perpetual futures were added, while Dogecoin and Shiba Inu contracts remain under regulatory review. Following the launch, HYPE futures open interest rose to $2.48 billion, surpassing XRP, and the HYPE token gained more than 10%. Separately, Barron's reporter Nick Devor said on X that Kalshi plans to launch Kalshi Pro, its proprietary trading terminal, later this summer.
