Kalshi launches perpetual gold and silver futures trading after winning CFTC approval

Kalshi has started trading perpetual gold and silver futures contracts, known as “Perps,” for U.S. traders after securing approval from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The contracts began trading on Kalshi’s website and were certified on Sept. 8, according to CFTC records. Kalshi said demand from traders drove the expansion from crypto into metals. It plans to broaden Perps to other non-crypto assets while competition with established derivatives exchanges intensifies.

XRP holders can trade options and perpetual futures without selling as FXRP collateral expands

XRP holders can use FXRP on Flare as collateral to trade options and perpetual futures on decentralised exchange Derive, without going through a centralised exchange. Flare said Derive began supporting FXRP as collateral for XRP options and perpetual futures. Derive’s XRP options settle in USDC, not XRP, requiring option sellers to maintain sufficient USDC and margin to avoid liquidation. FXRP has also been approved as collateral in Sentora’s RLUSD main vault on Morpho.
