What to know

  • Kalshi Klear, the company's clearing house, filed with the CFTC on Tuesday to offer margin trading on event contracts.
  • Margin trading would let bettors borrow from Kalshi to place larger wagers, increasing both potential gains and losses beyond their initial stake.
  • Kalshi says it will exclude sports, culture, and 'mention' markets from margin trading, focusing instead on longer-dated contracts.
  • The CFTC, whose commissioner Michael Selig has backed prediction markets' regulatory status as derivatives, will decide on the request.
