Kalshi's perpetual contract trading volume surpasses $5.5 billion, plans to expand asset classes other than crypto

Comparatively, according to Cryptonomist reports, the prediction market platform Kalshi's perpetual contract product was launched only two weeks ago, and the cumulative trading volume has exceeded 5.5 billion US dollars.

The data shows that for three consecutive days, the platform's trading volume has exceeded $1 billion in a single day. Among them, major sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup and the NBA Finals have contributed significantly to the surge in transaction volume.

Currently, Kalshi has launched 11 crypto-related perpetual contracts. Kalshi co-founder Tarek Mansour said it plans to expand perpetual contract products to asset classes other than crypto in the future.
