Kalshi added BNB, ADA, AAVE, WLD, and VVV to its CFTC-regulated American Perpetuals book. Bitcoin plus 17 altcoins. USD settle, no expiry. Max leverage examples on the page: 4.5x BNB and 1.9x VVV.
Kalshi has added BNB, ADA, AAVE, WLD, and VVV to its line of U.S. CFTC-regulated perpetual contracts. That is the Friday 4 September 2026 stamp.
The products debuted under the trademark American Perpetuals.
Distinct from Coinbase’s SEC notices for U.S. stock perpetuals and from Hyperliquid’s HIP-3* permissioned-market layer.
Kalshi filed for these perpetual futures with the CFTC last week. Max leverage varies by asset on that page — 4.5x for BNB and 1.9x for Venice Token (VVV).
Kalshi now offers perpetuals for bitcoin and 17 altcoins, including ETH, XRP, SOL, HYPE, and Zcash. The contracts are CFTC-regulated, have no expiration date, and settle in USD.

An earlier Kalshi batch brought Zcash (ZEC), Near Protocol (NEAR), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB) perps. Approvals for XLM, DOT, and HBAR are still pending with the CFTC.
The approvals came despite CME Group’s lawsuit against the U.S. CFTC and Chairman Mike Selig, alleging these contracts are swaps. This week, the CFTC filed a motion to dismiss the CME lawsuit, arguing the exchange lacks standing on its competitive-injury claims. That is the wire’s line — a motion to dismiss, not a ruling.
