Kalshi expands data feed to include sports and crypto perps via DoubleZero

Kalshi has expanded its data feed offerings to include perpetual contracts for sports and cryptocurrencies, now accessible through DoubleZero’s dedicated fiber network.

The move aims to provide institutional traders with enhanced real-time market data access, leveraging DoubleZero’s low-latency infrastructure. Perpetual contracts, which track the underlying asset’s price without an expiry date, are commonly used in both traditional and crypto markets for speculative and hedging purposes.

Kalshi, a regulated U.S. exchange, has previously focused on event-based derivatives, including sports betting markets, alongside its crypto derivatives offerings. The integration with DoubleZero’s network is designed to improve data dissemination speed and reliability for institutional clients, who increasingly demand high-frequency, low-latency market information.

DoubleZero’s fiber network is optimized for high-throughput, low-latency data transmission, a critical requirement for firms engaged in algorithmic trading and arbitrage strategies. The partnership underscores the growing convergence between traditional financial instruments and emerging asset classes like cryptocurrencies.

Kalshi did not disclose specific adoption metrics or client details in its announcement.
