Kalshi seeks CFTC approval for margin trading on prediction contracts
- —The application was filed by Kalshi's clearing unit Kalshi Klear
- —US-regulated event contracts currently require full collateral
- —Margin would be limited to self-clearing members meeting capital requirements
- —Sports and mention markets would be excluded from margin trading
Why it matters: Margin could pull institutional liquidity into prediction markets and intensify competition with Polymarket.
