FAQs

Does the market end?

Nope! That's the beauty of perps. You can close your position whenever you want to.

What is leverage?

Leverage lets you take a larger position with less money out of your pocket. It increases the overall size of the position, but it also affects how sensitive you are to big price swings — and liquidation if the price swing moves against you.

What is liquidation?

Liquidation is designed to protect you. When you open a position using leverage, the money you put in is used as a deposit. If the asset price moves against you, that deposit shrinks. If it gets too low to the minimum required to keep the position open, Kalshi starts closing your position to protect you from losing more than you put in.

What is the funding rate?

Kalshi runs a funding cycle 3x / day, where the perps price is adjusted to be the same as the underlying index price. Depending on whether the perps price is adjusted up or down, users holding long positions and users holding short positions pay each other a fee.Funding fees are strictly capped at 2% of your position per 8-hour window. Kalshi makes no money from this.

How are Perpetuals different from predictions, stocks or options?

Perps are unique in 3 ways:1. Two-way trading: Trade on whether the price will go up or down. Stocks only make money if the price goes up.2. No expiration: Predictions and options have a strict end date. Perps never expire. You can hold your position for five minutes or five months, and cash out whenever you want.3. Trade with leverage: Control a bigger position with less upfront cash.

Are Kalshi's Perpetuals regulated?

Yes. Kalshi's Perpetuals are CFTC-approved true perpetual futures. Kalshi is the first company in US history to offer regulated perpetual futures to American traders.
