Kalshi says it now offers 13 CFTC-approved crypto perpetual futures, including Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, as U.S. crypto leverage moves beyond bitcoin.

The Mined in America Act is being pitched as a bitcoin mining bill that tackles Chinese hardware dependence, grid flexibility, methane capture, and the U.S. reserve.
