Why Day Traders Are Watching Kalshi Perps
Season 1
Episode 41
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Kalshi's new 'perps' product crossed $1 billion in volume within a week of launch. Lucas and Luna break down what this means for retail day traders: how perpetual futures on prediction markets differ from traditional crypto perps, why the VIX spike to 20.42 and the Nasdaq's 4.4% weekly drop create a natural habitat for these contracts, and whether Kalshi perps are a hedge, a gamble, or a new source of intraday dispersion. Plus, a real trade example using the VVIX 'volatility of volatility' regime to size a position. No hype — just a practical look at a market structure shift that landed this week.
