What to know

  • Kalshi filed Tuesday with the CFTC to offer margin trading on event contracts, allowing leveraged positions on prediction markets for the first time under U.S. regulation.
  • The platform plans to restrict margin access to longer-dated markets and exclude sports and cultural contracts, limiting it to institutional-quality participants with capital requirements.
  • Margin trading is seen as essential to attract institutional traders to prediction markets, which have grown on retail trading but remain less accessible to big Wall Street players than traditional derivatives.
