Kalshi and BitGo have reached a cooperation agreement to support encrypted asset collateral loans for futures margin

Kalshi has partnered with BitGo to allow Kalshi Prime customers to borrow funds as collateral for custodial cryptocurrency assets and use the loan funds as margin for perpetual futures trading. This arrangement adopts a tripartite collateral management structure, with loans provided by Kalshi Katalyst and collateral assets stored in BitGo Bank&Trust. Qualified collateral assets include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins that comply with the GENIUS Act. Kalshi Prime CEO Jeff Bandman stated that this arrangement allows clients to participate in trading without having to exit their cryptocurrency holdings.
