Kalshi has partnered with BitGo to enable institutional clients to use crypto as margin for perpetual futures. The agreement permits assets held at BitGo Bank & Trust to be used as collateral for margin loans through Kalshi Katalyst. Supported assets include BTC, ETH, and GENIUS Act-compliant stablecoins. Institutional adoption is expanding as more custodians are expected to join. Kalshi previously launched metal and crypto perpetual futures and is pursuing products linked to oil and U.S. equities. This is a key crypto market update for institutional and professional traders.

ME News reports that on October 21 (UTC+8), the prediction market platform Kalshi entered into a三方 collateral management arrangement with the crypto custodian BitGo. Clients of Kalshi Prime, Kalshi’s U.S.-registered futures commission merchant, can now use digital assets held at BitGo Bank & Trust as collateral to secure loans for margining futures positions on the Kalshi exchange. The loans are provided by Kalshi Katalyst, a lending affiliate of Kalshi Prime. Eligible collateral includes BTC, ETH, and stablecoins compliant with the GENIUS Act, with additional custodians expected to be integrated in the future. Earlier this year, Kalshi launched perpetual contracts for gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies, and has applied to introduce perpetual products linked to oil and U.S. equities.
