Crypto.com began offering cryptocurrency perpetual contracts to eligible retail customers in the US on 27 October 2026. The products are accessible through the Crypto.com App and Crypto.com Exchange, with use of up to 5x, according to the company.
The contracts have no expiry date and let traders take either side of supported cryptocurrencies. The announcement also lists isolated margin and take-profit and stop-loss orders among the available features.
The registrations behind the offer
The launch follows a derivatives clearing organisation licence granted by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission to Crypto.com's affiliate, Crypto.com Derivatives North America, in September 2025. The licence enables the affiliate to provide cleared margin derivatives, including cryptocurrency perpetuals, to US customers. The offering's structure involves OG.com and affiliated entities. The CFTC registers North American Derivatives Exchange, Inc. In the roles of designated contract market and derivatives clearing organisation. Foris DAX Inc. Holds National Futures Association registration as an introducing broker, according to the announcement.
Kraken brought CFTC-regulated perpetual futures to the United States in June. Customers access them through Kraken Pro, where they sit alongside CME-listed cryptocurrency futures, spot trading and margin trading.
Kalshi has also added cryptocurrency derivatives to its event-contract business. The company said its crypto perpetuals generated more than $5.5 billion in volume during their first two weeks. Finance Magnates reported that figure in June 2026.
Separately, Robinhood agreed to put prediction-market contracts from Crypto.com and its business OG in its app, while taking minority stakes in both companies. The financial terms were not disclosed.
What this means on the desk
Operations teams assessing the service should establish which entity handles order routing, margin calculations, clearing and customer reporting. The announcement identifies the entities and their registrations, but does not map those responsibilities to each part of the trading flow.
Risk teams should check how the 5x use limit, isolated margin and take-profit and stop-loss orders interact, including what happens when a position approaches liquidation and how activity is reconciled between the App and Exchange. The announcement does not describe those controls, so their implementation remains a point to verify.
Before integrating the product, operations teams should also ask what trade and position data each entity provides, how often records are made available, and which party resolves discrepancies. The announcement gives no detail on those arrangements, leaving reporting and reconciliation requirements to be confirmed.
