On-chain derivatives — perpetuals, options, structured products, prediction markets, and volatility instruments.

The unusual suit argues Kalshi's Bitcoin perps are "swaps" under Dodd-Frank, not futures — and that the CFTC rubber-stamped the listing without doing the legal analysis.

The yes-or-no contracts won't be event-style like Kalshi or Polymarket, but they slot a top US brokerage directly into the same wagering lane — and signal TradFi is comfortable moving closer to…
Selig's Bankless remarks signal Washington may rewrite decades-old exchange rules to let 24/7 on-chain derivatives venues register in the US — if investor protections and disclosures are met.
The lawsuit argues perps should be swaps, not futures — and the legal read is that CME has both the procedural and substantive advantage heading into a likely injunction fight.
The first major US broker-led entry into event-based trading sidesteps political and sports contracts — a regulatory and reputational hedge that may shape how TradFi giants enter the space.
