The approvals allow the exchange’s US affiliate to operate a derivatives exchange, act as a clearinghouse, and intermediate trades.
Crypto.com plans to add margined derivatives to its platform, which already offers spot markets, prediction markets, and payment cards.
Crypto.com has received regulatory approval to offer
margined derivatives trading on cryptocurrencies and other asset classes in the
United States.
The milestone follows an amendment to the company’s
designated contract market (DCM) license, enabling the cryptocurrency exchange
to hold a full suite of Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) derivatives
licenses.
The exchange’s U.S. affiliate, Crypto.com Derivatives
North America (CDNA), reportedly now holds all three key derivatives
permissions: futures commission merchant (FCM), designated contract market
(DCM), and derivatives clearing organization (DCO).
This means the platform can operate a derivatives
exchange, act as a clearinghouse, and intermediate trades, all under U.S.
regulatory oversight.
The CFTC granted CDNA the amended DCM license
alongside approvals for its DCO amendment and FCM registration on September 26,
2025.
“The full stack of CFTC-approved derivatives licences allows Crypto.com to seamlessly provide clients with the most comprehensive and integrated derivatives experience, alongside Crypto.com’s additional product offerings, including spot markets, prediction markets, stocks, qualified custody, credit and debit cards, and more,” said Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com.

Until now, CDNA has been limited in offering fully
collateralized derivatives through prediction markets. The new authorizations
expand its capabilities to include margined derivatives, including perpetual
contracts.
Regulatory Process
CDNA filed its request to amend the DCM order in May. As part of the approval process, it reportedly submitted extensive documentation
and conducted multiple trading demonstrations for CFTC staff review.
“CDNA has been building a robust exchange and
clearinghouse for multiple products, and we are excited to head to the launch of
our margined derivatives using state-of-the-art technology focused on
best-in-class risk management,” Travis McGhee, the Managing Director, Global
Head of Capital Markets of Crypto.com, added.
The company said it aims to integrate these products
into its existing platform, which also offers spot trading, prediction markets,
custody services, and other financial products. Product availability remains subject to jurisdictional approvals and regulatory requirements.
