Kalshi Inc. is planning to launch copper perpetual futures to provide investors with a new way to bet on this red metal to meet the growing demand brought about by artificial intelligence infrastructure construction. The company's chief risk officer, Udesh Jha, said they are focusing on copper and palladium as the next batch of products to be launched after the precious metals contract. Kalshi's copper perpetual futures will enter an already highly competitive industrial metals trading market. Both the London Metal Exchange and the New York Mercantile Exchange already offer copper futures and options, and there are also related exchange-traded funds on the market.
