Talos integrates Kalshi prediction markets and crypto perpetual futures into its institutional trading platform.
DeFi & Yields ·
Talos has integrated Kalshi's prediction markets and crypto perpetual futures into its institutional trading platform, enabling select institutional clients to access both asset classes through a unified interface without separate technical setup. The integration connects Kalshi's event contracts and perpetuals to Talos's existing algorithmic trading suite—including tools such as Iceberg, Pegged, Sniper, TWAP, and POV orders—as well as its block trading system, allowing market makers and hedge funds to execute strategies across multiple legs, including basis and funding-rate arbitrage on perps-to-perp and perp-to-spot spreads.
Kalshi, a CFTC-regulated exchange, is positioned to serve institutional participants seeking a cleared structure comparable to traditional options and futures markets. Talos plans to extend multi-leg execution to prediction-market-to-perpetual spreads in the future. The build-out received advisory support from Cantor, the digital assets arm of Cantor Fitzgerald. Both Talos and Kalshi framed the move as a response to growing institutional demand for 24/7 trading infrastructure and the shift of asset classes onto digital settlement rails.
The extent of adoption among Talos's institutional client base and the timeline for launching the promised prediction-market-to-perpetual spread functionality remain unspecified.
