Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated exchange, has launched Solana perpetual futures for U.S. traders, expanding its crypto derivatives beyond Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP. These perpetual contracts have no expiry, allowing indefinite position holding, and Kalshi is waiving trading fees temporarily to encourage adoption.
