Kalshi stated on September 23 that it has not been contacted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and does not believe a formal investigation is underway regarding unusual trading activity in its Ether perpetual contracts. The company attributes the recurring fixed-dollar trade patterns to liquidity-incentive programs that pay market makers flat fees for maintaining resting orders, rather than rewards based on trading volume. CoinDesk's analysis found a significant concentration of Ether perpetual trades near a single price level, but Kalshi explains this as a result of fixed-size orders interacting with its liquidity arrangements. Kalshi's public stance remains that these patterns reflect the mechanics of its liquidity provision and fee structure, with no formal CFTC examination currently in progress.
