Kalshi asks CFTC to allow margin trading on prediction markets
- —The filing was submitted by Kalshi Klear, the company's in-house clearinghouse
- —Margin access would be limited to self-clearing members meeting capital requirements
- —Sports, culture and "mention" markets are excluded from the proposal
- —Capital requirements would rise as a contract approaches expiry
Why it matters: CFTC approval would open long-dated prediction contracts to institutional capital and sharpen competition with traditional derivatives venues.
