Polymarket said Tuesday that perpetual futures are coming to its platform, making the prediction market giant the latest to push into leveraged derivatives after Kalshi’s own perps plans surfaced earlier in the day.
We price the future.
Now you can lever it.

In a post on X, Polymarket said users can sign up for early access, while a teaser video showed positions with up to 10x leverage. The company has not yet shared launch timing, supported assets, or whether the product will be available to US users, international users, or both.
The move came hours after reports that Kalshi is preparing to launch perpetual futures tied to crypto prices in the coming weeks, expanding beyond its core event contracts business. Bloomberg reported that Kalshi plans to start with crypto linked products, while another report said the company may later expand into other asset classes.
The parallel announcements show how the two biggest names in prediction markets are moving toward one of crypto’s most active trading segments. Perpetual futures have become a major venue for round the clock speculation because they do not expire and often allow traders to use leverage to amplify positions.
