Polymarket announced on Tuesday that perpetual futures are coming to its platform, making the prediction market giant the latest company to enter leveraged derivatives after Kalsi’s own PERPS plans surfaced earlier in the day.
We set a price for the future.

Polymarket said in a post on X that users can sign up for early access, and a teaser video showed positions with up to 10x leverage. The company has not yet disclosed when it will launch, which assets it will support, or whether the product will be available to U.S. users, international users, or both.
The move comes hours after reports that Kalsi is preparing to expand beyond its core event contracting business by launching perpetual futures tied to crypto prices in the coming weeks. Bloomberg reported that Kalsi plans to start with products linked to cryptocurrencies, while other reports said the company could later expand to other asset classes.
The parallel announcements show how two of the biggest names in prediction markets are moving into one of crypto’s most active trading segments. Perpetual futures have no expiry date and often allow traders to expand their positions using leverage, making them a prime venue for 24-hour speculation.
