Kalshi asked for permission to trade prediction contracts with leverage

🔹The American prediction exchange Kalshi submitted an application to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission seeking permission to use borrowed funds when trading prediction contracts. Currently, such contracts on regulated U.S. exchanges must be fully collateralized.

🔹The application was filed by Kalshi Klear, the company’s internal clearing structure. The firm believes that leverage could make longer-dated prediction contracts more attractive to traders. Kalshi also proposes increasing capital requirements as the contract’s settlement date approaches.

🔹At the same time, leverage is not planned to be extended to contracts related to sports and cultural events. If approved, only clients who meet the established capital requirements would be able to trade such contracts.

Kalshi попросила дозволити торгівлю прогнозними контрактами з кредитним плечем

🔹Американська біржа прогнозів Kalshi подала до Комісії з торгівлі товарними ф’ючерсами США заявку на дозвіл використовувати позикові кошти під час торгівлі прогнозними контрактами. Зараз такі контракти на регульованих американських біржах мають бути повністю забезпечені заставою.

🔹Для цього заявку подала внутрішня клірингова структура Kalshi Klear. У компанії вважають, що кредитне плече може зробити довгострокові прогнозні контракти привабливішими для трейдерів. Також Kalshi пропонує збільшувати вимоги до капіталу в міру наближення дати завершення контракту.

🔹Водночас кредитне плече не планують поширювати на контракти, пов’язані зі спортом і культурними подіями. У разі схвалення торгувати такими контрактами зможуть лише клієнти, які відповідатимуть встановленим вимогам до капіталу.
