Kalshi: Building a new exchange with Bitcoin payments and prediction markets
CoinWorld News reports that, according to Bitcoin Magazine, Kalshi stated at the Bitcoin 2026 Conference that Bitcoin payments and prediction markets are building a new exchange aimed at large capital. Kalshi’s crypto head, John Wang, pointed out at the conference that regulated prediction markets provide a way to trade Bitcoin more easily than traditional spot markets. He emphasized that Bitcoin and other digital assets serve as key payment channels rather than being the core product. Wang also mentioned that Bitcoin is now the largest source of user payments in the Kalshi app, showing a deep overlap between the asset’s audience and the platform’s trader base. Kalshi plans to launch cryptocurrency perpetual contracts today, expanding its core event-based contracts into continuous derivatives trading. The new product will allow traders to hold positions without expiration; the initial margin will be in USD, with plans to add stablecoins later.
