Plus500 Becomes First External FCM to Offer Kalshi Perpetual Futures

Subscribe to our newsletter

Plus500 has launched Kalshi perpetual futures through its US Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), becoming the first FCM outside Kalshi Prime to offer the contracts to its customers. The launch extends Plus500’s existing partnership with Kalshi, which already covers prediction markets, and provides access to perpetual futures across its B2B and B2B2C distribution channels.

Perpetual futures are derivatives without expiry dates, allowing traders to maintain positions without rolling contracts forward. Kalshi introduced CFTC-regulated perpetual futures in May 2026 and has since expanded its offering to cryptocurrencies, commodities and indices. Plus500 will provide execution, order routing, clearing and risk management through its proprietary infrastructure, clearing transactions directly as a member of Kalshi Klear.

The company plans to expand its offering as additional contracts become available, strengthening its US exchange-traded derivatives business and providing institutional partners with access to a broader range of regulated trading products.
