KAI to Launch News Contracts in Its Next Release, Expanding Participation in Market- Moving Events

KAI to Launch News Contracts for Event-Based Trading

2025 — KAI Exchange announced that its next platform upgrade will introduce kAI to Launch News Contracts, a new product designed to enable trading based on market-moving news and real-world events.

News Contracts are not traditional price-based derivatives, nor do they trade news itself. Instead, they create clearly defined trading scenarios around the outcomes of major news events, expanding KAI’s product suite and real-world use cases.

What Are KAI News Contracts

On KAI, News Contracts allow users to trade on the outcome of a specific news event.

Each contract corresponds to a single event with a verifiable result and is structured into YES / NO outcomes.

Users participate by choosing a direction based on their judgment and may realize gains through price movements. At settlement, the winning outcome is settled according to predefined rules, while the other expires at zero. Each contract features clear timelines and settlement logic.

Product Design: Clarity and Accessibility

KAI designed News Contracts around four core principles:

• Clear event boundaries with a single, verifiable outcome

• Intuitive structure via YES / NO positioning

• Transparent settlement, with criteria and timing defined in advance

• Controlled risk, using isolated margin where losses are capped at margin used

This simplified structure keeps the focus on event judgment rather than complex contract terms

Trading Mechanics and Risk Control

News Contracts use an isolated, single-direction trading model.

Users can place market orders, partially or fully close positions, and all positions are settled at event expiry.

Risk controls include predefined margin and liquidation mechanisms to prevent further loss escalation.

KAI notes that News Contracts are risk-isolated from other contract products, avoiding cross- product exposure.

Data and Interface

The News Contracts interface highlights:

• Event title and category

• Number of participants and trading volume

• Real-time YES / NO prices

• Countdown to settlement

Additional features such as favorites, rankings, and comments are planned to enhance engagement around major events.

 Market Landscape and First-Mover Opportunity

Globally, event-based contracts remain in an early and highly concentrated stage. Decentralized platform Polymarketcurrently accounts for roughly 98% of global event-contract volume, validating strong user demand. However, major centralized exchanges have yet to deploy event contracts at scale, leaving a clear gap on the CEX side.

KAI aims to enter this space early by bringing proven event-trading demand into a centralized exchange framework, positioning itself among the first CEX platforms to roll out this product and capture early advantages in product design, user education, and scale.

Why Launch Now

KAI believes user demand is shifting from pure price speculation toward trading formats that reflect real-world events.

News Contracts are intended to:

• Broaden trading options for diverse user preferences

• Align trading activity with real-time market narratives

• Introduce new participation models without added complexity

The feature will be a key component of KAI’s next phase of product upgrades.

Rollout Plan

News Contracts will be introduced progressively in the next platform version.

Initial releases will focus on simple structures with clearly defined events, followed by continuous optimization based on user feedback.

Specific launch dates and detailed rules will be announced through KAI’s official channels.
