Kalshi has arranged loans backed by Bitcoin and Ether held at BitGo for eligible Kalshi Prime clients, giving them a way to meet margin requirements for the exchange’s U.S. perpetual futures without selling those assets. Kalshi Prime, the company’s CFTC-registered futures commission merchant, is the customer channel. Eligible clients may pledge Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) or stablecoins that meet the GENIUS Act’s requirements. Loan proceeds can fund margin for leveraged perpetual futures positions on Kalshi. Kalshi Katalyst, an affiliated lender, provides the loans, while BitGo Bank & Trust holds the collateral.
