Kalshi Expands Crypto Derivatives Offering With Launch of Solana (SOL) Perpetual Futures

Kalshi has officially launched Solana (SOL) perpetual futures trading, further expanding its growing lineup of CFTC-regulated cryptocurrency derivatives in the United States. The prediction market platform announced the new offering on X, confirming that SOL Perpetuals are now available for trading exclusively on Kalshi. To encourage adoption, the company is also waiving trading fees on the product for a limited time.

The launch marks another step in Kalshi’s “American Perpetuals” initiative, which aims to provide U.S. traders with access to perpetual futures contracts within a regulated framework. Unlike traditional futures contracts, perpetual futures do not have an expiration date, allowing traders to maintain positions for extended periods without the need to frequently roll contracts forward.

According to Kalshi, its perpetual futures products operate under the oversight of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The addition of Solana follows the company’s recent rollout of Ethereum (ETH) and XRP perpetual futures. Earlier, Kalshi also received regulatory approval to introduce Bitcoin (BTC) perpetual futures.

The introduction of SOL perpetual futures could significantly increase Solana’s market liquidity by attracting additional trading activity from U.S.-based investors seeking regulated crypto derivatives products.

Kalshi has also indicated that more cryptocurrency perpetual futures contracts are on the way. The company previously submitted applications for several major digital assets, including Stellar (XLM), Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Hedera (HBAR). Following regulatory review, XRP and Solana have already received clearance, while the remaining altcoin contracts are expected to launch in the coming days.

In addition, Kalshi recently filed for perpetual futures linked to Hyperliquid, which could become available after obtaining the necessary approvals. As the platform continues expanding its crypto offerings, the broader regulatory landscape is also evolving, with the CFTC currently exploring new rules that could shape the future of prediction markets and digital asset derivatives in the United States throughout 2026.
