Why trust us
Your cover does not depend on our balance sheet.
You are about to take our advice on a contract that pays when something expensive happens to your business. It is fair to ask who we are first.
Our investors
Backed by investors who build for the long term.
If UnloadRisk shuts down
Your cover keeps working.
When you place a contract, it is bought on Kalshi, a futures exchange designated by the CFTC, and cleared at Kalshi Klear, a CFTC-registered derivatives clearing organization. Your contract is held in your account at the venue, not on UnloadRisk's balance sheet.
Settlement is automatic. When the published index crosses your strike, the contract pays. Nobody at UnloadRisk has to be at their desk for the money to arrive.
- Your position is held at the exchange, in your account, under your name.
- The payout is triggered by a public number, not by our approval.
- There is no form to file and no third party to convince.
- If we close, you still hold a live contract that settles on schedule.
Our regulatory path
Built for the CFTC-regulated derivatives system.
UnloadRisk structures listed event contracts that settle against public indices. These are derivatives, and we are building the business within the CFTC framework in deliberate stages.
- Commodity Trading AdvisorAdvise clients on the contracts that fit their risks.
- Introducing BrokerSolicit and accept orders while a carrying FCM holds customer accounts.
- Full-custody Futures Commission MerchantHold customer funds and carry customer positions directly.
- Designated Contract MarketOperate the regulated market where contracts are listed and traded.
Each step requires its own registration or designation. We describe ourselves by the stage we have reached, not by the end state we are working toward. Contracts placed through this model trade on a CFTC-designated market and clear through a CFTC-registered derivatives clearing organization. Those registrations belong to the venue and clearinghouse, not to UnloadRisk.
