@Plus500, a global multi-asset fintech group operating proprietary technology-based trading platforms, has launched Kalshi perpetual futures (“perps”) through its US Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”). Plus500 is the first FCM, excluding Kalshi Prime, to offer perps on Kalshi Exchange (“Kalshi”), a CFTC-regulated US exchange.
Perps are derivative contracts with no expiration date, which lets traders hold positions indefinitely without needing to roll them over. They were historically traded outside US regulatory oversight until Kalshi launched the first CFTC-regulated perps contract in the US in May 2026. Since then, Kalshi has expanded its range of perps to include cryptocurrencies, commodities and indices.
Plus500 executes, routes, clears and manages risk on its own proprietary technology stack. It clears perps directly as a clearing member of Kalshi Klear, a tech-first derivatives clearinghouse. The group had already integrated Kalshi’s prediction markets products, and the perps contracts are now available across Plus500’s B2B and B2B2C channels.
The launch is the latest step in Plus500’s US build-out. It broadens the group’s product range, deepens its US footprint and strengthens engagement across its partner network. Plus500 will seek to expand its perps offering as additional contracts become available. The launch also adds to the group’s US exchange-traded operations, which cover execution, order routing, API connectivity and clearing services.

“Becoming the first US FCM to offer Kalshi perps represents another significant milestone in a year of excellent progress in the US for Plus500 and it highlights the strength of our innovative, technology-led partnership with Kalshi. Perps have grown quickly in recent years and their arrival on a fully regulated US exchange is a significant boost for the whole industry. From prediction markets to perps, our US business is capable of rolling out innovative products at speed, which is why Plus500 is a partner of choice for Kalshi.”
