Kalshi

Regulated exchange for event contracts trading

About Kalshi

Kalshi operates as a regulated exchange where traders can speculate on the outcomes of various events through a unique product called 'event contracts.' These contracts allow investors to bet on whether specific future events will happen, such as changes in Covid-19 statistics or legislative decisions in Congress. The platform expands the traditional futures market by addressing new economic risks, making it accessible to both individual investors and institutional traders who want to hedge or speculate on significant events. Kalshi earns revenue by charging transaction fees on trades made on its platform. What sets Kalshi apart from its competitors is its regulatory approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which allows it to offer this new asset class in a compliant manner.
